Cline Ancient Vines Mourvèdre 2010

Contra Costa, Central Coast, California, United StatesThe excellent Ancient Vines series features Rhone varietals such as this Mourvèdre or Mataro. Look for a ripe lifted fruity nose of blueberries and pepper. The plate is super smooth and glossy with sweet blueberry meaty fruit dusted with chocolate and pepper. Rich hedonistic and ripe this wine will appeal to a wide audience. Drink or hold for another three years. The winery suggest try this wine with grilled lamb, wild mushroom ragout, duck confit or peppercorn crusted beef tenderloin.Tasted: 01 December 2012Tasted by: Anthony Gismondi and Stuart TobePrices:
