Red Mountain Mourvedre
Red Mountain, Columbia Valley, Oregon/Washington, USA
Pretty color of ruby with a wide reddish rim.
Light nose of red fruits with light wood and chocolate notes.
Medium bodied with medium acidity.
Dry on the palate with red currants, cherries, light oak, spices, licorice, earth, herbs, chocolates, tobacco leaf and peppercorn.
Tangy finish with fine grained tannins and raspberries.
This is a young Mourvedre from Washington State. Showing mild complexity and a soft mouthfeel.
Feels like a Cotes du Rhône red, right out of the bottle. After 90 minutes of airtime it feels more like an old world Pinot Noir. Interesting stuff.
Would be nice to revisit it in a couple of years and see how it evolves.
Soft, spicy and elegant. Easy drinking and good by itself or with food.
100% Mourvedre grapes were handpicked, 50% whole Cluster. A small production of only 14 barrels. Unfined.
14% alcohol by volume.
90 points.
$65.
