Oaky and earthy, this estate Mourvèdre is on the savory side of things, ripe in stewed plums, tobacco and black pepper, linear and soft. Barrel-aged for a year in French oak, 20% of it new, the wine's oak imprint should continue to mellow with time.

Light in color and in body, like a Pinot Noir, this Mourvèdre has forward, rich flavors of cherries and orange zest, accented with sweet, toasty oak. It's simple and rather sweet, like melted pie filling.
