Kestrel 2008 Winemaker Select Mourvèdre (Yakima Valley)

Country: US / Winemaker Select
Variety: Mourvèdre Washington
Winery: Kestrel / Yakima Valley

Winemaker Flint Nelson co-ferments this unusual Mourvèdre with Syrah and Grenache, yielding a wine with unusually smooth integration of flavors. Multifaceted and supple, this has layers of ripe fruit, spice, lead pencil, cedar and clean earth flavors, which continue smoothly onto the medium-long finish.
