One of the few Mourvèdre that stands on its own. Luscious fruit, and chocolate. Great wine from Cline.

Leather, meadow, and fresh black cherry. Smooth, stands up to any meat you wish, perfectly balanced.

Upon opening, ripe fruit and graphite on the nose. Very low tannins and a touch sour. Not super complex, nor as interesting as the 2015.
