It's a little vineyard not far from our home. It's called Naches Heights Vineyard, NHV. They have a lovely tasting room and beautiful grounds that are just wonderful for spending our leisure time.
We've been going out on Friday nights when they have some live music and, of course, great wine. We are actually members of the wine club and are so enjoying their new release "The Carmen". It's a blend of two grapes. 56% Tempranillo, arguably the most famous of Spain's native grapes, is a vibrant, aromatic varietal that offers spicy, red fruit aromas and flavors. The grape's name translates to "little early one," a moniker that references fruit's early ripening tendency-- Tempranillo thrives even with a short growing season. The Carmen is also 44% Monastrell which is the spanish
name of a grape variety known in France as Mourvèdre. Mourvèdre grows in Rhone,
Languedoc Roussillon and mostly in Provence. Basically Mourvèdre is cultivated
in the french wine regions on the border of the Mediterranean Sea. Mourvèdre
needs a long summer and a lot of sun.
The flavor is very unique and so worth trying. You'll love it!
