Tasting Notes
The nose on our 2007 Mourvèdre is wonderfully earthy with notes of sage, cedar, forest floor, prunes, Eucalyptus. The wine has a soft tannin structure with very nice acidity and mid-palate flavors of sandalwood, black and red fruits and fresh mushrooms, and finishes slow, long and rich.
