Cline Ancient Vines Mourvèdre 2002

Contra Costa, Central Coast, California, United StatesThe excellent Ancient Vines series featuring Rhone varietals is priced under $30 across the country and is led, in my estimation by this delicious Mourvèdre or Mataro. Look for a lifted floral, fruity nose spiked with blueberry and pepper aromas. On the palate it is rich and smooth with a sweet mocha/coffee undercurrent and spicy oak. Youthful robust and fun with grippe tannins in the finish. Drink or hold for another five years.Tasted: 17 February 2005Tasted by: Anthony GismondiPrices:
