Tasting Notes

Medium plus bodied with structure that follows suit. There is a melange of bramble and red berries, followed by notes of game, leather, mineral, and clove. Tasty juice.

GRAPE VARIETAL(S)

Monastrell

95% Mo-na-STRELL

Mourvedre is widely grown in Spain, and in France, where it makes up at least 50% of Bandol, and is typically one of the main blended varietals in Chateauneuf du Pape. It is high quality and strives in hot temperatures. The grapes are dark, and tannic with ample alcohol and intense aromas, particularly of blackberries. It is valued for its heady, structured contribution to blends.
