Murrieta's Well The Spur Livermore Valley Red Blend

Winery Notes
The Spur 2019 is crafted from blending the classic Bordeaux varietals with Petite Sirah, which offers a distinctively California expression. Each varietal is farmed, harvested, and handcrafted individually to achieve its greatest expression prior to assembling the final blend.

Tasting Notes
The 2019 vintage provides an aromatic profile of black cherry, spiced cranberry, and subtle oak with complementary notes of graham cracker and clove. The dark fruit aromas carry through to the palate which is framed by fine tannins, and a rich, lasting, and elegant mouthfeel. Enjoy through 2027.

Vineyard Notes
All grape varieties in this wine are exclusively sourced from our estate vineyard in the Livermore Valley. All of the Bordeaux varieties were grown in the Sachau vineyard located directly behind our historic tasting room. Elevation in this vineyard ranges from 616-845 feet and the soils consist of mainly very gravelly, coarse sandy loam -- ideal for these varieties. The Cabernet Sauvignon was also grown in our Louis Mel vineyard. A distinct feature of the Louis Mel vineyard is an ancient riverbed that runs through it. The Petite Sirah is grown on the Hayes vineyard, which has the widest elevation range (560-860 feet) on our entire estate. It features an array of soil types, aspects, and slopes, which makes it ideal for growing a range of grape varieties. We farm all of our vineyards block-by-block to ensure optimal flavor and fruit expression.
