These sites range from 1,700-2,400 foot elevations, and feature granitic, volcanic loam soils, and ancient calderas. Berries tend to be small from these sites, with concentrated, yet elegant flavors.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThe grapes were harvested in the cool Sierra Foothills evenings and brought to Healdsburg for processing. After a cold soak they were fermented in small lots with ambient yeasts and 40% whole clusters. There was no new oak used. Barrels were 1-7 year old French oak, featuring coopers Remond and Francois Frères. The wines were bottled after 18 months in barrel. 287 cases produced.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eGrape varieties :\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e83% Mourvèdre, 9% Syrah, 8% Grenache\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eAltitude :\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e520m - 730m ASL\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eSoil :\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eGranitic, volcanic loam soils\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eAlcohol :\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e13.3%\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eTasting notes :\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThis Southern Rhône\/ Bandol inspired wine shows the elegant side of Mourvèdre. Aromatics of violets draw you in and are complemented with\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eflavors of plum, blackberry, and underbrush. The wine finishes with strong acidity to complement the bright fruit and will benefit from decanting or time in the cellar. It will pair beautifully with fowl, meat, savory pasta and seafood.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Withers","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42975938183392,"sku":"108998","price":49.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0649\/9713\/0464\/products\/withers-ruben_1.jpg?v=1663889647","url":"https:\/\/www.mywineconnection.com\/products\/withers-ruben-2016-750ml","provider":"My Wine Connection","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
