What can I say - I love this wine - It has aged in a fantastic way! The tannins have died down and the fruit is still vibrant but now it's very smooth and balanced. Chocolate and spice mix with the fruit. It's a shame Sunce couldn't source grapes from this vineyeard for a 2nd year so this bottling is a one off. So sad......

Haven't had a lot of Mourvedre so not sure how characteristic this is of the grape - but I really enjoy this wine - tasted this out of the barrel and bought futures of it - which we just picked up - so it's young in the bottle. Slightly spicy with some chocolate notes and soft tannis. Purchased for $13 (sells now for $26) - might not find a better deal this year!

Basically follows the same notes as before but this bottle had a little more tannins then our first bottle.
