Tercero Mourvèdre Santa Barbara County 2014

Producer notes: “This 2014 bottling, my largest to date, is made up of lots from three distinct sub-regions within the Santa Ynez Valley. Each vineyard brings something different to the table, allowing the final blend to have notes of both warmer and cooler climate sites. Each component was 100% whole cluster, foot stomped vigorously by me and then fermented with the stems. Each was aged for 34 months in older French oak barrels, unracked until just before bottling. This wine is a perfect one to accompany hearty foods–from a side of mushrooms to herb roasted chicken to a rustic lasagna. Alcohol 14.2%.”
