2022 / Willow Creek District Mourvedre

Aromas of raspberry fruits show trailing notes of violet, truffle and sweet amburana woodspice. The palate is soft and rounded with flavors of cranberry, cherry, plum spice and eucalyptus, while feral gamy accents are faithful to the Mourvèdre grape’s native charm. Supple textures gain a hint of tannic grip on a chewy yet nimble finish.
