2021 Estate Mourvedre

Typically used for blending in the Rhône Valley, we highlight our 1.25-acre parcel of Tablas clone Mourvèdre in an annual varietal bottling that showcases the unique qualities of the grape. This vintage opens with aromas of blackberry and plum, highlighted by subtle hints of dried herbs and leather. The palate is beautifully balanced with rich dark bramble fruit flavors, and a silky tannic backbone through the mid-palate. The finish is long, featuring notes of black pepper, tobacco, and dark chocolate.
