Newfound Wines Mourvedre
Boz & Dominique Scaggs planted 2.2 acres to Grenache, Mourvedre, Syrah & Counoise on their ranch at the northern crest of Mt Veeder in 1998. Situated on what was once a high valley lake; the soils are interspersed with gravely and Aiken loam deposits as you plunge the 300 vertical feet from top to bottom. One of the few remaining organic vineyards dedicated exclusively to these varietals in the Napa Valley, Scaggs was going to be a cornerstone to Newfound production when Boz transitioned control of the vineyard over to them in 2016. Except for a few rows of Counoise, the vineyard was lost in the tragic fire of October 2017.
Alert! Newfound’s rising star winemaker Matt Naumann should be on your radar!!
100% whole cluster fermentation. 2 stainless barrels / 1 neutral oak barrique. Alcohol: 11.5%. Harvest date: September 25th. 76 cases produced.

Beaurenard "Boisrenard" Chateauneuf-du-Pape
VARIETALS a symphony of 13 varieties of Châteauneuf du Pape, from old vines 60-100 years in age, with a dominant aroma of Grenache, and other red grapes varieties (Syrah, Mourvèdre, Cinsault, Counoise, Muscardin, Vaccarese, Terret Noir) and white (Grenache, Roussanne, Clairette, Bourboulenc, Picpoul, Picardan).
GRAPES HARVEST: The harvest is 100% manual, with selection of grapes. Each picker is given two buckets and, once the bunches are cut, they separate the finest bunches from the damaged or immature grapes.
WINE PRODUCTION: The grapes are destemmed, slightly crushed and placed in a fermentating vat. These steps, combined with long vatting (26 to 31 days), gently extract the maximum amount of phenolic constituents, tannins, anthocyans and resveratrol which give the wine its structure and colour and also have health-promoting properties.(Yield are low : 15 à 20 hl/Ha).
AGING: The aging during 12 to 18 months in foudres and barrels (with very little new oak, less than 10%) ensures a good clarification and roundness of the tannins and so of harmony and balance of the wine before bottling, with care at the Estate.

Domaine de Rimauresq Rosé
Rimauresq is named for the river Real Mauresque that traverses the domaine. This 60 hectare property was reestablished in 1882 after the phylloxera epidemic devastated the region. Domaine de Rimauresq was also one of the original fourteen Cru Classé producers that received historical Cru designation even before the appellation board named Cotes de Provence as an AOC. These historic properties still produce some of the most sought after and long lived rosés of the region. The 2017 rosé is a blend of 43% Grenache, 24% Cinsault, 10% Mourvedre, 8% Syrah, 6% Carignan and 9% Rolle. The grapes undergo a light maceration when harvested and are then gently pressed. No malolactic fermentation occurs keeping acidity fresh and lively and the wine undergoes a light filtration for clarity. A perfect summer rosé for any classic Mediterranean fare.

Sinister Hand Yakima Valley 2016
Producer Notes:
63% GRENACHE, 16% SYRAH, 16% MOURVEDRE, 5% CINSAUT
A record-breaking hot vintage led to an early harvest in some of the vineyards in which we source our fruit for the Sinister Hand. Our estate syrah from Outlook Vineyard came in as early as August 27th! We were excited about the heat and monitored the vineyards closely for optimal sugar levels and ripeness, finishing up harvest around the 3rd week of September. With these varying ripening dates, we found layers of complexity within each block. The heat rendered beautiful aromas of black pepper, clove and juniper with juicy hints of dried strawberry, pie cherries and fig. Flavors of chocolate, green peppercorn and boysenberry are delicious on the palate, resulting in a full-bodied, mouthcoating Rhone-styled blend.

Chateau Vannieres Bandol Rouge 2010
With cellars dating from the 16th century near the village of Castellet, Chateau Vannieres is one of the great domaines in Provence. It consists of 47 hectares, 33 of which are planted to vines, with clay-limestone soil and an average age of 35 years. Agriculture is sustainable.
Eric Boisseaux and his son (the family hails originally from Burgundy) craft exceptionally expressive wines from the traditional varietals of the area: Mourvedre, Grenache and Cinsault. All the grapes are harvested by hand and destemmed. Each varietal and each parcel are fermented separately so that the estate can retain maximum flexibility in blending the different elements of each cuvee.
Made primarily from Mourvedre, the substantial Bandol Rouge is fermented in epoxy-lined cement tanks and aged in foudre and barriques for 20-24 months when they are bottled.
These are long-lived wines of class and distinction.
