J. Lohr’s ‘Gesture’ lineup of wines has been a huge success on two levels. They are well priced and absolutely delicious. The Mourvedre, a grape popular in the southern Rhone Valley of France, is a brilliant red that exhibits superb fruit purity, layered complexity and smooth tannins. This deeply colored beauty shows aromas of blackberry, blueberry and finishes with an inviting note of wood spice. A Platinum award-winner at the 2017 Critics Challenge International Wine & Spirits Competition.
