Broc Cellars
Luna Matta Vineyard Mourvèdre
Paso Robles, Central Coast, California, USA
Dark translucent purple. Intoxicating nose! Cola, black pepper, anise, blueberry and tar. Beautiful complex aromatics. A bit light on the palate weight, but good through the mid a nice light coating of tannin. Nice acidity, very bright. Like it a lot.

Paso Robles at 12.2%. (!!!) Mourvèdre steppin lightly. Prettiness and elegance, blueberries, plums, and the tiniest hint of wild game/animal. Great acidity, and angles where you want 'em. Can't wait to see where she is in 6 months.

What a difference 4 years makes since last tasting this. This is much more secondary with cherry, herbal forest floor, mushroom, leather, dried lavender, maybe some meat notes. It almost seems like a Sangiovese as I’m thinking about it, but more game like components. So freaking good but start drinking soon!

Mar 11th, 2023Tasting great. Still some tart cherries and good acid. A bit of game and dark fruits as well. There’s a pine forest freshness to this one as well. I think 2012 was a shift in winemaking from the previous Mourvèdre vintages from broc. Still has a good amount of life left.

May 7th, 2022Tasting great at 12 years old. Definitely has more life. There are a few secondary notes of some sweet dried fruit and bit of tomato paste, but overall still great acidity a bunch of dried herbs, tart cherries, a bit of plum, forest mushrooms, really wonderful.

Feb 5th, 2022This is great, but was shocked that it had so much oak characteristics. Not what I was expecting! Nose is wonderful plums, fresh herbs, cedar, and even a bit of leather. Palate is more plums, cherries, red apple skin, then oak, baking spice. I really like it and would have never guessed this as a broc wine. Fascinating to go back in their vault. Would love to know more about this one.

Jun 21st, 2021So amazing at 8 years old. Needs an hour of air. Nose of dried flowers, dried cherries, and a wood like smell that I can’t put my finger on. Palate explodes with flavors, blueberries, cedar, more dried herbs and flowers, some dried fruit but this has many years ahead of it. Outstanding

Dec 4th, 2020Like drinking a cherry cola. Really interesting wine. Nose has candied orange with butterscotch. Wonderful flavors of herbs and a zing of acidity. Really lovely.
