This co-fermented Grenache and Mourvèdre from Red Mountain is a seamless union, where the ripe, seductive fruit of Grenache meets the darker, more brooding depth of Mourvèdre. The nose teases with blackberries, plums, and hints of leather, tobacco, and earth – each note playing its part in a perfectly balanced affair. On the palate, the vibrant fruit of Grenache gives way to Mourvèdre’s savory grip, with layers of dark chocolate, wild herbs, and a soft smokiness. The tannins are smooth yet firm, creating a harmonious structure that lingers with a touch of spice and minerality. This wine is the perfect marriage of fruit and earth, light and dark – an unforgettable, sensual experience.

White pepper and red currant jelly alongside orange peel, tobacco leaf and shades of charcuterie all fill the palate. The viscosity and verve is absolutely dazzling. Enjoy this stunning wine now and over the next ten plus years to come.
