2018 Halcon Vineyards Mourvèdre

Community Tasting Note

Likes this wine:

91 Points

Sunday, April 30, 2023 - Medium bodied, traditional styling, good quality natural cork.

A bit "natty" tasting for the first 60 minutes, and then intensity and expansiveness ramp up: this is easily in the wheelhouse of classic CdP profile. Wide swath of red berries, wet brick clay, purple flowers, carbonic acid. Followed over 3 days, stayed fairly consistent. No rush to drink.

Perhaps my third favorite Halcon bottling, behind Elevacion and Alturas -- now wishing I had been stocking up on their Mourvèdre previously. 91-92
