Not what I expected at all. Mourvèdre—you’re thinking huge, inky, high alcohol. This wine was lighter than most Pinot Noirs I’ve seen—incredibly surprising. Clear at the edges and fully translucent. The nose is bright with light fruit, but the palate has significant acidity and focused strawberry and red cherry notes. This wine is closer to a Pinot than any other Mourvèdre I’ve ever had before. In fact, it’s better at being a Pinot than most Cali wines I’ve had. Loved it. Wish I had more.

Juicy and fruit forward. Acidity and tartare moderate. No funk nor earth I’ve had from other montepulcianos I’ve had. A clean, modern wine simple and pleasurable.
