Trio Vintners 2009 Far Away Vineyard Mourvèdre (Yakima Valley)

Country: US / Far Away Vineyard
Variety: Mourvèdre Washington
Winery: Trio Vintners / Yakima Valley

Can Washington Mourvèdre really be this good? From the Far Away Vineyard (previously named for owner Art den Hoed) it sure can. Sappy and fresh, this lively wine features ripe red fruits, sharp acids and smooth tannins, with toasted walnuts and caramel streaking through the finish. It shows excellent concentration and length.
