Nose
Classic Mourvèdre characteristics of gaminess and meatiness accented with black raspberry and licorice.
Palate
A dense bouquet of dried flowers, garrigue, and white pepper with an iodine driven minerality. The finish is pure and lively with nice acidity and supple tannins.
Harvest
The Mourvèdre was harvested in mid October, hand-sorted and destemmed with whole berries intact. Punch downs were performed thrice daily.
Winemaking
This wine can be enjoyed now but should evolve nicely up to 10 years from release.
Aging
Both the Mourvèdre and Syrah were aged in neutral French Oak for 9 months.
