Country: US / Coyote Canyon Vineyard
Variety: Mourvèdre Washington
Winery: Syncline / Horse Heaven Hills
Brilliantly aromatic, this wine beguiles with exotic scents of plum pudding, spice cake, cherry compote, pipe tobacco, red licorice and raspberry jam. All that and more can be tasted—the wine is a riot of fruits and baking spices. This makes the best possible case for Mourvèdre as a stand-alone varietal wine here in Washington.
