Our 2015 vintage Mourvedre was the first to spend time aging in terracotta amphorae, and the clay adds a subtle dimension to the wine. The wine features a bright red fruit character that brings to mind tart cherries and ripe pomegranate. The consistent vineyard character of clean earthiness is still present, but a bit more subdued than in previous vintages, and the characteristic meaty aspects of this varietal are quieter, too. A leafy black tea/tobacco note compliments the red berry fruit, and the whole is brought together nicely by the subtle minerality of the terracotta.
