Mmmm...delicious! Juicy black cherry and hints of sweet tobacco. Silky texture and a lengthy finish. Going back for more!

100% Negrette. I get a little bit of oak and slate and a violet floral scent. A bit of red apple skin and tart wild berries with a nice stoney, slate quality on the palate and a long finish with perfume and incense notes. All of the Mourat wines have been great so far. — 10 years ago

9.1

A really good rosé. Salmon pink color, dry with vibrant acidity. Fresh red berries and little citrus on the palate and a chalky, mineral laden finish. One of the most enjoyable rosés I've had this year. A blend of Pinot Noir, Cabernet Franc, Negrette, and Gamay Noir. — 10 years ago

Immediately after opening, this was very tart and a little astringent. Revisiting several hours later was a pleasant surprise. Aromas of cherry, cranberries, and dried leaves that transcend to the palette. Nicely textured and well rounded wine. A blend of pinot noir, cabernet franc, negrette, and gamay from the western reaches of the Loire. — 10 years ago

9.5

100% Cabernet from some of Washington's finest vineyards. 47% Red Willow Vineyard, 27% Destiny Ridge & 26% Stillwater vineyards.
Dark purple color but still showing an inky halo of a younger wine. Lots of raspberry and blackberries, sweet tobacco, mint and toasty oak on the palette with dusty tannin and juicy acidity and a streak of freshness characteristic of Washington wines. Very enjoyable now but should age well for several years. 27 months in 50% New French Oak, 50% once used French oak.
