點擊次數：3158

The 2007 Ritual is a provocative blend of Rhone varietals - 55% Mourvedre (from Pope Valley), and the rest Grenache, Syrah, and Petite Sirah. Its deep blue/purple color is followed by notes of damp earth, forest floor, fresh porcini mushrooms, meat, tree bark, flowers, and blue as well as black fruits. Because of the ripe Mourvedre component in this full-bodied, chewy 2007, the tannins are sweet, not astringent. Drink this mouthfilling as well as teeth-staining wine over the next 7-8 years. The case production from this small, artisinal winery is generally between 135 and 200.Tel. (707) 967-9380; Fax (707) 967-0724
