About This Wine
Our 2007 Melange de Rêves, modeled after the great wines of France’s Rhone Valley, was fermented in small lots in a combination of stainless steel tanks and small open-top fermentation bins. Daily “pump-overs” and “punch-downs” allowed for maximum color and flavor extraction without bitter tannins. After pressing, the wine was transferred to small French oak barrels where it aged for 19 months before blending, resulting in a wine which is soft and approachable in its youth.
Wine Profile
Vintage: 2007
Wine Type: Red Wine
Appellation: Temecula Valley
Vineyard Notes: The 2007 growing season followed one of the driest winters on record, resulting in a slightly smaller than average crop with most varietals. Bud break in early spring was followed by a midsummer heat spell which saw temperatures exceed 105° Fahrenheit with exceesive humidity for nearly two weeks sped up sugar levels on the white varietals, which were harvested in mid-to-late August. Despite several scattered thunderstorms, a mild September allowed extended “hang time” for the reds, further developing color, flavor and tannin structure and resulting in wines of tremendous aroma and flavor profiles, outstanding color and depth.
Winemaker Notes: Our 2007 Melange de Rêves is a very special blend of Syrah, Cinsaut, Mourvedre and Grenache. Medium bodied with lively aromas and flavors of cherry and raspberry with hints of smoky tobacco and black pepper, this wine was aged for 19 months in small French oak barrels.
Food Pairing: The bright fruit flavors and of our 2007 Melange de Rêves make this wine the perfect accompaniment to such foods as aged cheeses, smoked salmon, and light pasta dishes.
