Wine Club Notes
Mourvedre (56%) provides dark red fruit, earth, spice, and mid-palate richness while Tannat (23%) adds dark color, smoky, spicy flavors and firm tannins and Grenache (21%) brightens everything with forward fruit, approachability and lushnes.600 cases produced.
A spicy nose of black olive, dark chocolate, menthol, and blue fruits. The mouth is powerfully structured showing flavors of fig, briary fruit, pepper spice and a spurprisingly creamy texture with fine, chalky tannins. The finish shows Tannat's characteristic firmness leavened by bright acids and a a pretty floral note from Granache. For now, pair with substantial food like wild boar ragout or pasta putanesca, or lay it down for a decade or more. (8/11)
