Named simply for its vineyard source, this blend of 70% Mourvedre and 30% Grenache is bold, dark and spicy, featuring tar, black cherry, pepper and pie spice aromas that translate into full throttle palate flavors that ride a rich texture through a long finish where a menthol note serves to freshen things. It’s more than up to pairing with beef in a bright garlic sauce or something else on the full flavored food spectrum.
