Another 4th Friday for the books! Insane pulls this month to follow up the most epic month (April) that we’ve ever had!
Incredibly fortunate to taste this side by side with the Sami-Odi. This had more of a beef jerky/smoked meat nose, and the palate was less floral and more peppercorn, blackberry, currant and incredibly full bodied without being overbearing. Been on the list for a year or two...hope to get an offer soon! Awesome pull by @Keith Fisher ! — 6 years ago
2018 Syrah No 7. Wow this is good! Blackberry galore. Other commenters note lavender, pencil shavings, floral and I get all that. Medium plus bodied, silky mouthfeel, long finish. I’ve had Syrah before but not like this. Drinking perfectly now. Fantastic wine! — 3 years ago
Första känslan var amerikansk Syrah. Påminde mycket om Andremily. Vilken inte visade sig vara konstigt. Superextraherad och fullpackad med smak. Mogna plommon, vinbär, eukalyptus, alkohol, tanin, kanel. Sjukt nog väldigt frisk och tillgänglig. Amerikanskt hedonistisk som jag får ge vika för. Sjukt god. — 5 years ago

Hello beautiful, I mean Mourvedre.
“Simply the best.” ~Black Eyed Peas.
Super expressive nose. Scents of preserved fruit, earth, rose petals and olives. Full-bodied and savory. Layers of complexity, dense fruit, balance and fresh acidity.
The 2019 Mourvedre is 81% Mourvèdre, 18% Syrah and 1% Viognier. The winemaker, Jim Binns, was assistant winemaker at Sine Qua Non before starting Andremily. The Andremily website offers this on the 2019 — it leaps from the glass offering a head bouquet of smoked meats, ground pepper, boysenberry, blackberries, expresso, and plenty of Mourvedre funk. With a rich full texture, ripe tannins, and a lingering finish that goes on for more than a minute, this is one sexy Mourvedre.
Rule #35 Absolutely nothing wrong with opening a young wine when it is as good as this one ☝️. Yes I could have held it for a few years, but why?!
