Plaisance Ranch 2014 Mourvèdre (Applegate Valley)

Country: US /
Variety: Mourvèdre Oregon
Winery: Plaisance Ranch / Applegate Valley

This pure varietal expression of the grape is a steely svelte spicy red with unusual complexity. The tart and tangy fruit could be any wild-picked red berry, and the acids are like a squirt of citrus. But there’s extra depth and interest from the hints of herb, seed, stone and metal that reward your attention. This should drink quite well now through the mid-2020s.
