The 2019 Old Vine and certified organic Rodnick Vineyard Mourvèdre is one of the best yet with inexpressive concentration and depth, while being very elegant and firmly in the house style with smooth tannins and a deep floral perfume; this is a heady and opulent version of this grape, which is most famous in Provence’s Bandol region. Opening with a salvo of peony and seeped rose petals along with red berry compote this Mourvedre adds classic earthy cherry, plum and wild berry fruits on the full bodied palate along with a nice elegant wood note with just a hint of feral meatiness, tarry licorice, mission fig and dusty spices.
