2022 Mourvedre - The Deputy
Who is the Deputy? Where is the Sheriff? The Deputy may be new in town, but he is one smooth character, despite his rustic, earthy overtones. You will want to get on his good side, and fast.
Double Gold, Savor NW Wine Competition (96 points)
A lovely medium purple in the glass, the nose on this Mourvedre is so beguiling that you may want to get a corner table and spend a while getting to know it. It’s inviting and unique, with plum, melon, floral and spice notes so well integrated that they come across as a single new aroma that you’ve never experienced before. This unusual profile continues in the mouth with intensity and richness, along with ageworthy structure, bringing excitement like that fun first conversation with a new friend.
Full bodied, medium+ acid, medium- tannin
