A unique Mourvedre. All about strawberries and violets, medium bodied, accessible structure, and lip-smacking delicious factor. Long finish with floral inner aromas. Seems like one to drink younger for the fruit and aromatics. I wonder if this was partly fermented with carbonic maceration and/or whole cluster given the character. Oddly very reminiscent of Lacrima di Morro d'Alba or dry Brachetto.

Reddish violet color, nose bright red fruits with a hint of earthiness, palate bright but pleasingly smooth/velvety, just a really pleasant and balanced texture all around, strikingly pure flavor of strawberries with a finish of slight tropical fruits/guava, hint of caramel/honey. I really enjoyed this, it was on the lighter/more delicate side for a red but had an intriguing depth to its flavors and body

Earthy tannins in check by a juicy fruit forward profile. Spicy/floral stemmy elements on the nose. Very enjoyable.
