McCrea Mourvedre (2007)
	This is our fourth vintage of Mourvèdre, a varietal we believe will become legendary in Washington State. The cuttings are Beaucastel material sourced from Tablas Creek Vineyard, planted for us in 1999 by Jim Holmes at his renowned Ciel du Cheval Vineyard on Red Mountain. Our purpose in planting these grapes was for our southern-Rhône style blend (“Sirocco”), but we couldn’t resist bottling a small quantity as a single varietal. It has proved to be a very popular decision! Varietal Composition: 90% Mourvèdre, 10% Syrah Volume: 750ml Retail Price: 5,145 yen Region: Red Mountain Full-bodied、 Dry　 Price: ¥ 5,145
