Description
This wine is an exquisite expression of Rhone varietals blended to show respect for the tradition of the Rhone region, while maintaining a truly vivid expression of El Dorado terroir. “Clone” refers to the slight genetic variations of a single varietal, and the clones that we’ve planted were chosen specifically for their ability to thrive in the terroir of this region.
Syrah Clone 877 – contributes full bodied fleshy flavors of black fruits and peppers while providing a structural backbone of tannins and textured balance.
Petite Sirah Clone 4 – adds a bit of black fruit and exotic aromas and increases the mouthfeel.
Mourvedre Clone 369 – provides elegance, structure and acidity producing flavors of sweet plums, roasted game, and a hint of tobacco.
Grenache Clone 362 – the lightest of the four grapes, adds soft berry scents and a bit of spiciness.
This Miraflores version of a Rhône blend is elegant and sophisticated. This wine offers an impeccable balance of tannins, spiciness, fruitiness, and acidity. The exotic and persistent aromas of plums, game and maple make it delightful for short ribs.
