Sean Boyd nailed this Mourvèdre! Smoke, tar, blackberry compote, and wildflowers with a touch of salty sea air. In fact, I just want to keep my nose in the glass! I expected something big, like a Bandol. This is certainly relatively full-bodied, but the fruit, lean tannins, and a touch of succulent acidity are harmonious. I suspect this will easily cellar another 7-9 years. Paired with duck breast and asparagus and wild mushrooms.

Brand new release. Great stuff. Really dark and fruit dominant, great spice, some tobacco. This wine is going to be good for a long time. 100% Wallula Vineyard, 50% Whole Cluster, Single Varietal Mourvèdre. Great stuff, really. Doesn’t finish hot at all.
