For this vintage of Buoy red, we looked to Spain for our blending inspiration. Mourvedre, believed to have originated in Spain where it is commonly known as Monastrell or Mataro, is the base of this spicy fruit forward blend. To this, we blended Syrah for its smooth richness and ripe fruit flavors and a touch of Petit Verdot for its floral notes and deep color. 76% Mourvedre, 19% Syrah, 5% Petit Verdot

Notes

2018 was a perfect growing season in eastern Washington – heat early in the summer with a cool fall and no rain. These ideal conditions resulted in grapes with high sugar, balanced acid, and amazing color.
