2017 Mourvedre
90pts Wine Advocate
McKinley Springs Vineyard, Horse Heaven Hills AVA
100% Mourvedre
Neutral Barrel Fermented
Spicy and earthy, this Mourvedre brings aromas of Mexican chocolate, Cuban cigar box, Marzipan, violet and rose. Medium-bodied with balanced tannins accentuate flavors of allspice, olive brine, rosemary, and ancho chiles. Mysterious and easy to pair with fall cuisine like roasted tomatoes and dark greens.
