Hypnotically floral, inviting- it almost smells snuggly,… Served blind, by just the nose, you might think this could be Sonoma Pinot Noir, and then— Zoinks! The perfume rich, Mourvèdre air-force starts dropping triangular, micro-tannin bombs that wrap them selves around a core of pomegranate, candied strawberry, and nervy granite. Unique, seductive, drinkable and meditative-- this is the lightest Mourvèdre in our fall lineup, and the one I’d want on hand if I were lost at sea..." - Hardy Wallace
