Tasting notes: red berry • bittersweet chocolate • smoky vanilla

There’s a bit of a rogue in this glass; mysterious, well-traveled, and dressed in worn leather with stories to spare. On the nose, the 2022 Mourvédre opens with the warm rush of brandy and ripe strawberry, softened by a curl of oak char like smoke rising from a late-night hearth. On the palate, it hits all at once—red berries ringing out like a two-hand chord on an old piano. Bold, unexpected, and utterly satisfying. As it settles, bittersweet chocolate and smoky vanilla. It’s the kind of smooth finish that makes you lean back in your chair and consider your next adventure.
