Also mostly from the Alta Mesa Vineyard, the 2018 Mourvedre will spend 21 months in 50% new French oak. Offering a more blue fruit character as well as beautiful pepper and floral notes, this beauty hits the palate with medium to full-bodied richness, a complex, gamey, almost Old World style, notable acidity and tannins, and a great finish. It's a beautiful, elegant, yet age-worthy effort.
