  Decanted 8 hours prior to consumption. Okay, I love the varietal and the winery so I am inclined to rate generously, especially when the wine is so delicious. Upon entry, the Mourvedre is clearly delineated and wrapped in a warm, smooth texture all remaining intact across the palate. This bottle was tasted against a 2018 Caliza Mourvedre also from the Willow Creek assignation which presented itself admirably.

  Really pleasantly surprised. Maybe my favorite L’Aventure I’ve had. Really soft tannins, there’s meaty Rhone flavors would expect but also an almost sweet flavor of baking spices and maybe roasted marshmallow or maple.

  Dark fruit, blackberry and boysenberry nose with some root aroma, like beet. Still a young wine, with acid and tannin still notable.

  Blueberry, fig, licorice. But lighter bodied than expected. Very smooth.
