This is a fabulous Mourvedre from a cooler climate, lending bold blueberry fruit to the nose of black cherry, pepper and tar. All of this comes through as mixed palate flavor, with a pleasant stemmy character adding interest. The finish blossoms with fruit and spice, and lingers long. Very nicely executed!
