Mourvedre 2021
It isn’t often we showcase single varietal Rhone wines, but this vintage was too exceptional to blend it away. This wine offers a delicate balance of blackberry and black pepper, with hints of rose and meat sprinkled throughout the palette.

A bit uncertain at first sip on opening, especially after noting the misplaced accent grave on the label, but after the recommended 30 minute decanting, the wine evolved into a mature, mellow, full bodied expression on the palate that nicely complemented the extended Christmas festivities.

The best Mourvedre I've ever had.
