Do you love Rhones? Does your heart soar at the first sip of a good Syrah? Does it melt at the discovery of a meaty Mourvedre?
If so, you’ll enjoy the combination of the two in Katy’s new Rhone blend, Mantra.
Join fellow Rhone lovers at “Rhone Rhapsody,” a celebration of the 2007 vintage of “Mantra”
Saturday, March 13th, noon to 5pm
At the Winery at 5000 N Rodeo Gulch Drive
Poetic Cellars welcomes you to “Rhone Rhapsody,” a celebration of the release of winemaker Katy’s new Rhone blend, “Mantra.”
This delicious blend of 45% Mourvedre, 45% Syrah and 10% Sangiovese is a smooth, multi-layered experience of pure pleasure, balancing the racy, wild red fruits of the Mourvedre with the depth and richness of the Syrah. Spritely Sangiovese adds charming cherries and buttery smooth tannins to create a Mantra worth repeating over and over. This may become your favorite wine ever!
All Poetic Cellars Rhone wines will be featured, including the 2006 Syrah, the 2006 Mourvedre and the 2006 Petite Sirah, accompanied by delicious French gastronomical delights.
Bonus! Treat yourself to some of the best cupcakes you have ever tasted! Aileen Avila from Tulula bakery in Livermore will be on hand to sample and sell her outrageous “baked bliss” mini-cupcakes: magical morsels that will make you smile.
The 2007 Mantra Rhone blend is very limited, and was a Silver medalist at the 2010 Chronicle Competition.
