La Mourvache Costieres de Nimes
From two 50 year old southwest facing plots, the nose is the classic combination of Grenache and Mourvedre - raspberry and cocoa. Ripe fruit and spicy notes combine with the fullness of old Grenache and the concentrated tannins and structure of old Mourvedre.
89 points - Robert Parker "An intriguing blend of equal parts Mourvèdre and Grenache, the 2005 La Mourvache is impressive. Deep purple in color, with notes of roasted meats, herbs, blueberry, and black cherry, this spicy, rich, medium-bodied wine has sweet tannin and a long finish. It should age beautifully for 5-6 years”
