Description:
Our Mourvèdre is a white pepper face slap wrapped in a hurricane that is cage-fighting a tornado. Imagine crushed peppercorns, sweet chocolate, with a lean and delicate herbaceousness that dances softly on your palate. The fruit is from Williamson vineyard and is aged on new French and american barrels. This wine begs for salmon, pork chops, hocks, and bellies, chicken of all character, seasonal vegetables, and especially new potatoes. you will have a secret love affair with this wine.

Varietal Definition
Mourvedre:
As long as the weather is warm, Mourvedre ably tolerates a wide variety of soils. It is popular across the south of France, especially in Provence, where it is responsible for the greatness of Bandol, and many a fine red Cotes-du-Rhone. It is often blended in Chateauneuf-du-Pape; Languedoc makes it as a varietal. Spain uses it in many areas, including Valencia. In the United States, Mourvedre remains a minor factor for now, pursued by a few wineries that specialize in Rhone-style wines. The wine it produces can be quite pleasing, with medium weight, spicy cherry and berry flavors and moderate tannins. It ages well.
