This wine with 14.1% natural alcohol was released in May 2014 and comes from the rocks in Walla Walla. Ripe fruit nose with blackberry, cassis and black olive alongside smoked meats. This is a rich and viscous palate, that separates itself from others and captures great vintage. Wonderful depth with flavors of blackberry pie, creme de cassis, anise, cherry cola and red currant with a long, 20 plus second finish. This is the best Washington Mouvedre I've had in the past 10 years. (Best 2015-2030) - August, 2015 (OB)
