The promising new "Gesture" lineup from J. Lohr is nothing if not provocative. This Mourvedre is a good example. It’s a bold red that doesn’t hold back on the heft, with some fairly big tannins to boot. Yet it has plenty of charm, with layers of dense, ripe black fruit and spice. Tasty and interesting, but not for the faint of heart or palate.
