Winemaker Notes

Dark red with purple hues. Aromas of plum, mocha, boysenberry, cedar, and cinnamon. Full-bodied with well balanced acid. Luscious, juicy and chewy tannins.

Flavors of mulberry, black cherry, Doris plum, dark chocolate, coffee grounds, and fresh cedar. The finish is long, juicy and chewy.

Professional Ratings

  • 93

    Fresh and dried violets, roses and orchids lead the aromas on this wine, followed by vibrant fruits of raspberry, red currant, rhubarb, cranberry and red plum. There are also hints of cacao, charred oak and dried forest floor, complete with leaf litter. On the palate, chalky tannins, well-integrated alcohol and vibrant acidity keep the fruits forward from start to finish.

Full of ripe fruit, and robust, earthy goodness, Mourvèdre is actually of Spanish provenance, where it still goes by the name Monastrell or Mataro. It is better associated however, with the Red Blends of the Rhône, namely Chateauneuf-du-Pape. Mourvèdre shines on its own in Bandol and is popular both as a single varietal wine in blends in the New World regions of Australia, California and Washington. Somm Secret—While Mourvèdre has been in California for many years, it didn’t gain momentum until the 1980s when a group of California winemakers inspired by the wines of the Rhône Valley finally began to renew a focus on it.
