A house favorite, Mourvèdre provides plenty of tannin, black cherry, garigue, well integrated, powerful but balanced, hints of 4-EP Brett on palate but acceptable because the wine is so good

Wow, mouvedre is such a cool variety. This unexpected surprise has an intense expression of the classic leather and mineral character, with chaparral (garrigiue) and brambly fruit. Snuck the bottle into a screening of Chef, good times.

Thanks to Kyle Reddington. . What a great wine. Like a Southern version of Allemand. Mourvèdre funkiness, southern richness but lots of focus.

Black raspberry and sour cherry fruits mingle with game and garrigue flavors. Finely grained tannins with good length and not overwhelming alcohol on finish. A simply stunning Syrah/Mourvèdre blend from Faugeres.

A lovely biodynamic wine, a blend of Syrah and Mourvèdre from the Languedoc.
This village style wild wine has a deep black purple color, with a complex nose of barn yard, black fruits, cherries, plums, sweet spices, roasted coffee and earthiness, all coming together nicely in a wild rustic full body, with a lovely acidity and fierce tannins. It is defently a village style wine that you can't stop enjoying, until the long finish expires and the bottle is gone, my score 90, drink 2015-2024
