Winemaker Notes
The combination of 105 year old vines from Contra Costa and the low crop yielded a Mourvèdre of solid color with enticing aromas of Italian plum, blackberry and cinnamon. The old vines contribute a full, round mouthfeel and soft, silky tannins. Aged in neutral old French oak barrels, the absence of new oak tannin allows the quality of the fruit and texture to shine, creating an experience as close to tasting fresh, ripe fruit as one can imagine. Drink now with grilled steaks, winter stews and game. Drinkable now, this wine has a history of aging gracefully for 5–10 years.

Enthusiast
Since 1988, Jade Mountain has been a pioneer in the production of Rhône-style California wines. The winery was founded with the belief that carefully chosen California vineyard sites planted to Rhône grape varieties can achieve quality on a par with the best from France and Australia.
Paras Vineyard, Jade Mountain's flagship vineyard, rests on the upper slopes of Mount Veeder, overlooking the Napa Valley. With rocky vine terraces and eastern exposures reminiscent of the finest Northern Rhône vineyards, Paras Vineyard grows Syrah and other Rhône grapes of truly exciting quality. From this and other select vineyards, Jade Mountain creates Syrah, Mourvèdre, Viognier and a proprietary southern Rhône-style blend called La Provençale
Jade Mountain uses only the highest-quality grapes and practices traditional winemaking techniques to produce wines displaying intense fruit and spice and silky smoothness on the palate. These wines are appealing in their youth as well as eminently age-worthy.
