About the Wine

A deep brooding Mourvedre nose of loamy redcurrant and roasted meats, new leather and black plum. The mouth shows spicy licorice and nutmeg lift over baked plums and Mourvedre's signature plum skin tannin maintaining balance with the wine's mouth-coating texture. The long, richly tannic finish, with lingering flavors of wood smoke, roasted meat, and crushed rock, promises more rewards to come with cellar aging. We recommend that you drink either between now and 2023 or again starting in 2026 any time over the subsequent two decades.

Blend: 40% Mourvedre, 27% Syrah, 23% Grenache, 10% Counoise

Ideal pairings for this wine include game, dark fowl (i.e., duck), richly flavored stews, lamb, or any Asian preparation of red meats (i.e., beef stir fry).
