100% Mourvèdre from the Heart Vineyard on Red Mountain. It spent 18 months in 100% neutral oak. On the nose, herbaceous - thyme, bay leaf, pepper, blackberry, raspberries, blueberries, cherries, hues of strawberries and dark florals. The body is leaner with M+ tannins. Blackberries, black plum, dark cherries, raspberries and hues of blueberries & strawberries. Mocha powder, caramel, pepper, warm spice, soft leather, crushed dry rocks, fresh round acidity and a ripe, fruit, spice driven finish. Photos of; the old blacksmith shop they made their tasting room in, tasting room area and Marie-Eve (Onwer/Winemaker) doing the dirty work of cleaning the stainless steel tanks.
