THE SPUR
gourmet pairings
Vindaloo sliders are the
perfect pairing for Murrieta's
Well's The Spur. The spices
accentuate the earthy notes of
the Bordeaux varietals in this
red blend, while the tannins
from the Petite Sirah help
balance the dish by cutting
the fat of the lamb.
tasting notes
The Spur 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 the greatest expression. Expect aromas
and flavors of vanilla, spiced cranberry, and clove with the perfect
balance of graham cracker and plum on the palate followed by
assertive tannins and a lasting, elegant mouthfeel.
winemaker's insight
All the varietals in this wine's composition were fermented
individually at cool temperatures in stainless steel tanks
and pumped over three times daily to maintain the full fruit
expression of the vineyard.
