A spicy, earthy personality makes this wine unique, and it has a great sense of balance. It exudes cardamom, wood smoke and black pepper aromas, and the flavors follow with black plum and clove, accented by peppery spice.

Holly's Hill Mourvèdre opens with a gigantic waft of black pepper, followed by intense fruit flavors of cherry and dried plum. Medium bodied and light on the finish, this earthy wine also gives off a hint of cured meats, with which it would pair nicely.
