It presents a medium-bodied profile with a bright acidity that enhances its vibrancy, making it incredibly food-friendly. The fruit intensity is prominent, revealing lush notes of dark berries and plum, complemented by subtle hints of spice that add depth to the palate. Tannins are notable yet well-structured, providing a firm backbone without overwhelming the experience. With a dry characteristic, this Mourvèdre balances its fruity notes with earthy undertones, capturing the essence of its terroir in a beautifully harmonious way.

California is one of the most diverse winegrowing regions in the world. Spanning 850 miles along North America's west coast—and inland across mountains and valleys—California's American Viticultural Areas (AVAs) cover a dizzying array of terroir. The cold, deep waters of the Pacific Ocean play a major role in cooling California's vineyards, sending fog and chilly air up to 100 miles inland. This tempers the daytime heat and allows grapes to ripen slowly but fully. Cooler-climate grape varieties thrive closest to the sea, while further inland, bigger, bolder wines prevail.
