Mourvedre

Château de Pibarnon (Comte de Saint Victor)

Bandol Mourvedre Blend 2021

Dark ruby in color with a wide reddish rim.

Red fruits on the nose and medium plus in body with medium acidity.

Dry on the palate with nice complexity and mouthfeel.

Long finish with round tannins and tangy cherries.

This young Mourvedre from Bandol is starting to drink beautifully now. Already showing nice complexity and good balance, and will continue to age nicely in the next 10 to 15 years.

Soft and elegant. Complex and interesting. Easy drinking and good by itself or with food.

A blend of 90% Mourvedre and 10% Grenache. Aged in used French oak barrels for 18 months.

14.5% alcohol by volume.

92 points.

$60.

Ancient Vines Contra Costa County Mourvèdre 2022

Lot of dark fruit: blackberries, blueberries, and a tinge of spice. Dark, the wine smells like it tastes. Good value. — a month ago

Seriously, has there ever been a disappointing red wine from Contra Costa? Every red vine there is over 100 years old on ungrafted roots in 20 feet of pure sand. What kind of jerk can fuck that up?

Château Pradeaux

Bandol Mourvedre 2017

Blind tasting for the staff. Still loads of tannin here but approachable enough. Dried black currant, mulberry, and licorice root. Garrigue. They all guessed ten year old Southern Rhone or Bordeaux. Lovely. Got this on sale for $27 about 5 years ago. — 2 months ago

Cuvée La Tourtine Bandol Mourvedre Blend 2021

Bucket list wine. Always wanted to try the red but it is elusive. Some say it’s the Grand Cru of Provence. Found it at Grand Barrail in Bordeaux FR. It is decadent, I’d have it again any day. — a month ago
