Comes out swinging like a somewhat drier starburst candy—very intense concentration of red & black fruits, but w some air settles nicely into sanity. I had post meal but really begs for food-roasted sweet potatoes, perhaps

Solid! Love the brightness this has on the palate, crunchy brambly fruit, blood orange and spice driven. A nice layer of meat and savory herbs intertwined, herbal notes shine through on the finish. Great intro into what CA can do with Mourvèdre without breaking the bank.
