Deep ruby/purple; pronounced intensity aromas of blueberry jam, dried black plum, juicy blackberry, vanilla, cream, toast; dry, medium acid, medium ripe tannins, high alcohol, full body, pronounced intensity flavors consistent with aromas; a big jammy wine but well balanced with structure and oak, very hot

100% Mourvedre and aged 36 months in 30% new French Oak. This one needs a little air to get started but she’s a beaut if u give her the time. Massive on entry, tongue slathering flavors of blackberry pie and spiced cherries. Loved every drop.

I have no idea if this is representative of the varietal but who cares?!? 16% ABV and quite a mouthful of spice and blackberry, with an extended finish. Still going. Damn fine juice!

This big boy (16% abv) is extremely enjoyable after a quick decant. Fun wine to compare to the Once & Future Mataro we had a couple weeks ago. Relatively new varietal for us but I dig it!
