Beaumont Cellars 2015 Reserve Mourvèdre, Wahluke Slope, $39

By on July 18, 2017

Pete Beaumont, a longtime orchardist in North Central Washington, crafts his wines within the boundaries of the Ancient Lakes of Columbia Valley growing region near the town of Quincy. He pulls grapes from the Wahluke Slope thanks to his long-running relationships with growers such as Jones and Milbrandt, and red Rhône varieties thrive in this heat. Beaumont’s work with Mourvèdre captures a sense of Châteauneuf du Pape with its touches of meat, savory and brine behind the deep and delicious flavors of dark plum, fig and Swedish Fish candy. Spicy tannins and penetrating acidity make this an ideal pairing with pork ribs, lamb, duck and charcuterie. These wines also are available at their young tasting room in Woodinville.
