Château La Roque
Cuvée Les Vieilles Vignes de Mourvedre Coteaux du Languedoc Pic St. Loup
Pours sangria in color ON THE NOSE: raspberry, meat and smoke. ON THE PALATE: dark fruits with a hint of mineralogy and earthiness. Very soft and pleasing. Medium body with a long finish. This is a great wine just not as fruit forward as our New swords palate is use to.

Nov 13th, 2015A cool find while on travel in the DC area. Damn nice old vine Mourvèdre from the LongDock - from 50-60 year old vines to boot. A tasty, balanced marriage of overripe raspberry, old spice, sea breeze, and violet with hints of leather trying to sneak out. Moderate tannins all wrapped up in a nice violet. Buy this wine!
