2014 vintage. Great wine. Usually Morvedres are in blends, but this wine stands on its own. Intense plum flavor. Smooth finish.

Always a treat to see a Mourvedre. This is very rich, lots of dark plum and raisin. Later on the cocoa and leather. A particularly nice nose, fragrant and almost like a port. for the price this is delightful.

Very fruit forward, but still has a bit of smokiness to it. Well balanced in flavor.

First time having a Mourvèdre. Very soft, well rounded wine. Easy drinking and enjoyable
