Tercero
Santa Barbara County Mourvedre
Lovely strawberries emerge from dark fruit. Tannins and acid make sure you know they’re there.

Oct 1st, 2017My favorite vintage of this from Larry. Plums and blackberries, earth and animal, crisp and palate refreshing. Lighter than most Bandol, weightier than [say] most Dirty and Rowdy, plain tasty.

Mar 28th, 2016Bright, with a lovely combination of plums, blueberries and peaches. Opens up considerably with food.

Dec 1st, 2015Still plenty of acidity in this vintage, with the addition of more full throated red and black fruit. Just a delightful wine to drink.

Oct 28th, 2015Deep ruby color with cherry, blackberry, black raspberry and hints of tobacco, earth and spice aromas. On the palate its between light and medium-bodied, elegant and harmonious with concentrated fruit, very good acidity and soft well integrated tannins with a supple texture and black raspberry, cherry and a pleasing minerality. Lingering finish. Cool climate Moved? Yes!

Nov 12th, 2014I love a wine where I know the winemaker and grape grower. This Mourvedre is rich, bright, fruity and structured.
