2016 Mourvedre
The beautiful deep purple of this wine promises a wild adventure! We recommend decanting this wine to allow the nose and palate to fully blossom. The nose delights with black currant and wild rose. The palate adds to the floral element with notes of lavender and rosemary with a crisp acidity and smooth tannins. The finish is smooth and soothing- the perfect close to an exciting trip of the senses!
The color is deep purple fading to a pale ruby on the edges. Decant this wine and serve at room temperature, allowing the wine to open up so you can enjoy all of the aromatics it has to offer. On the nose you’ll find aromatics of blackberry, blueberry, violets. Mocha and spices are noticeable as the wine decants and warms. Bright, with soft tannins and an earthy mouthfeel, the elegance of this medium bodied wine coats your mouth with a long finish that lingers with a tart acidity.
An interesting take on Mourvèdre, this wine was co-fermented with a small amount of Grenache. Mourvèdre tends to have nice herbal and pepper characteristics, while Grenache holds acidity very well and has bright fruit aromas, adding complexity and depth to this wine. It was aged in Hungarian, French and American barrels for 26 months. Before being bottled Malbec was added to the blend adding richness and fruit complexity to the finished wine.
