Murrieta’s Well Estate Vineyard, The Spur 2017, Livermore Valley, California

Tasting Note: A svelte red blend with an expressive, floral character and silkiness that goes on and on in your glass.

Deep-intensity purple in color, this wine has a medium-plus-intensity nose of raspberry compote, black plum, dried-and-crushed violet blossom, red cherry, bramble and white rose petal.

On the palate the dry, medium-plus-bodied red blend has a silky texture with medium-plus-intensity flavors suggested on the nose supported by ripe, well-integrated, medium tannin ultimately completing with medium-plus finish.

Abounding with florality, restraint, and wonderful curves.
