Deep purple color. Aromas and flavors of roasted nuts and raisins drizzled with melted dark chocolate, boysenberry compote, praline, and caramelized bacon with a satiny, vibrant, fruity medium-to-full body and a tingling, interesting, long finish that shows overtones of peach marmalade, chocolate orange peels, and sweet baking spices with well-integrated, chewy tannins and moderate oak flavor. A rich, spicy and concentrated red wine that could hold its own at any slow-smoked meat feast.

Mourvedre

Mourvedre is a red grape planted in several countries, but best known for its use in the Rhine Valley of France. It is most commonly used as a blending variety in Châteauneuf-du-Pape; it is also found in red wines from southern France, such as Bandol, Provence and Languedoc-Roussillon. Mourvedre is also known as Monastrell and is used as a blending grape in several Spanish reds such as La Mancha and Conca de Barbera.

Mourvedre can also be made on its own, as in California and Australia. The wines are deep in color and robust with ripe blackberry and black plum fruit with distinct spice; acidity is good and there are medium-weight tannins. These wines should be paired with rich food with a zesty character, be it barbecued chicken or pork, wild game or stews.
