An absolute delight in a Mourvedre-dominant Rhône style blend that balances ripe fruit and meaty character on a fine line where the tension between the two is like a civilized yet passionate discussion, something we could all use in our lives right now. There’s palpable elegance, deep complexity and age-worthy structure here — you’ll want a few of these. Contains 73% Mourvedre, 17% Grenache and 10% Syrah.
