<H1>2007 Mourvedre, Thompson Vineyard -- Jaffurs Wine Cellars Shopping Cart</H1> $34.00 -- 90 IWC <IMG SRC="https://store.nexternal.com/jaffurs/images/07%20Mourved.jpg" ALIGN=right ALT="2007 Mourvedre, Thompson Vineyard" NAME="2007 Mourvedre, Thompson Vineyard" BORDER=0 HSPACE=10> 2007 Mourvèdre – Thompson Vineyard The 2007 Mourvèdre, Thompson Vineyard is medium dark with black tea and white rose aromas. It has edgy tannins, nice spice/red fruit flavors and our trademark lingering finish. Made entirely with fruit from Thompson vineyard. We added in a little Syrah and a little Grenache to add complexity. (217 cases produced – very limited) • The Thompson Vineyard Davis Clone Mourvèdre was harvested November 7 at 21.5 brix, 3.8 pH. • The fruit was stemmed but not crushed. Intact, whole berries were placed in small bin boxes, chilled for 24 hours, and went through 14 days of fermentation. • One barrel of Thompson Vineyard Syrah and one barrel of Thompson Vineyard Grenache were blended with seven barrels of Mourvedre to produce this wine. While it is legally a Mourvedre, it is our nod in the direction of the great Rhone Valley blends we admire. • The must was inoculated with D254 and RC 212 yeast. • Went through ML fermentation completing in January. • One new American, one new French, and seven older barrels were used. • Less than 14% alcohol. • Racked in early July and again before bottling. • Unfined and lightly filtered. • Bottled in August 2008. Food Pairing: This wine is slightly lighter than our other reds wines and pairs with a wide variety of foods. It is a superb Thanksgiving or Easter feast wine. Its fine tannin structure and grapey-pomegranate-spice aroma goes well with foods you might pair with a good Pinot Noir. Try it with braised or roasted beef, game hens, roast pork with baked apples. Less sweet, fruit sauces work well - try cherries, raspberries, or even black figs <LI>SKU: 2007 Mourvedre (btl) Other products in the category <A HREF="http://www.nexternal.com/jaffurs/Category2" TITLE="Current Vintage Wines">Current Vintage Wines</A>: <LI><A HREF=http://www.nexternal.com/jaffurs/Product120 TITLE="2007 Syrah, Upslope">2007 Syrah, Upslope</A> -- Our Best Syrah ! 94 WS, 92+ IWC <LI><A HREF=http://www.nexternal.com/jaffurs/Product121 TITLE="2007 Syrah, Ampelos Vineyard">2007 Syrah, Ampelos Vineyard</A> -- Biodynamic grapes from Sta.
