2022 Joy in the Middle
This vibrant Mourvèdre, sourced from TH Estate Vineyard and blended with a small amount of Petite Sirah from our friends at Rolph Family Vineyard, thrived during the intense late summer heat. The result is ripe tones of leathered strawberries, watermelon, and olallieberry jam, with added depth from the Petite Sirah, bringing layers of crushed blueberries, pine, and cedar smoke. A lively acidity balances the mid-palate, revealing notes of raspberries, pomegranate, and dried fig, finishing smooth with fruit leather flavors.
Named after Erin Joy Nenow, the middle sister of Drew and Tracie, Erin marches to the beat of her own drum. This wine reflects her resilience and unique character—just as Mourvèdre flourishes in special places, Erin’s individuality shines in everything she does.
