Repris 2020 Mélange Rouge

Moon Mountain Vineyard has proven itself a paradise for Syrah, and for the first time, our tribute to Rhône Valley winemaking tradition puts this celebrated variety front and center. Our Dynamite Block is a west-facing site near the mountain’s summit that bathes in summertime heat, driving explosive fruit flavors. Lower on the mountain, two additional Syrah blocks are sheltered away near the winery. Shielded from the afternoon sun by the volcanic ridge above, these vines express earthy notes far different from their Dynamite siblings. Bolstered and brightened by savory Mourvédre and rich Grenache, these blocks exhibit the elegance that has defined the revered blends of the northern Rhône for generations.

Winemaker Notes

This is Moon Mountain Vineyard’s take on a traditional Southern Rhône blend with an emphasis on restraint and balance. The foundation of this wine is the interplay between the structure of mountain-grown Grenache and the cool-toned depth of Mourvèdre, harmonized by an accent of Syrah.
