Earthy, rich, dark fruit, fleshy, and very accessible now.

Dark ruby colored. Nose of wet moss, iron and earth-fading hints of sweet chocolate. Alluring and attractive. Smooth and blanched in the mouth flashing cherry, tanned leather and juniper/cedar. Long lingering finish, touches of oak, earth and smoke with slight spice on the back. Needs time to open. 4% Counoise...nice!

From @Helen Keplinger... an astonishing, perfumed example of Mourvedre beauty, Foothills style. (Specific hat tip to Ron Mansfield.)

I really enjoyed this Mourvèdre blend. Great fruit with very nice spice. Paired with a spicy pasta, this wine is superb!
