Thank you Hardy @dirtysouthwine! Savory and delicious. Blind, Stumped me. Thought I was in the south of France.

All earth and rocks and rhubarb(?!), in a very light bodied way. Overmatched by a rib eye, a roast chicken would be about perfect. This ought to really be something with a couple more years behind it.

I've never managed to sit on these very long, the only reason this time was due to a cellaring error. The extra couple of years did nothing to the exuberance and freshness but added a touch of depth. Wish I had more.

Hit its stride after three hours in the decanter. Savory and earthy and bright and floral.

This Mourvedre is exquisite. Smooth and tasty like you see in France. Mellow tannins and hints of spice. Lovely

Rosewood Vineyards old vine Mourvèdre. Elegant addition to Dirty & Rowdy's terroir variations of this fine grape.
