Andremily Wines Mourvedre, Santa Barbara County, California, USA 2022

Description

A powerful and deeply expressive Mourvèdre from Santa Barbara County, the 2022 Andremily opens with intense aromas of blackberry, black raspberry, plum, lavender, violet, pepper, sandalwood, and earthy forest floor. The full-bodied palate is rich and concentrated, supported by firm, grainy tannins and beautifully balanced acidity. Dark fruit and savory spice carry through to a long, complex finish with a distinctive tea-like character. A compelling California Rhône-style red with impressive depth and structure.

“Deep garnet-purple in color, the nose is fragrant, with juicy blackberries, plum preserves and black raspberries, followed by lavender, violets and forest floor. The full-bodied palate has firm, grainy tannins, balanced acidity, taut muscular fruit and a long, Darjeeling tea-laced finish.”

Jeb Dunnuck 97
“More savory, ripe, yet still sexy,” with black and red fruit, baking spices, leather, loamy soil, pepper and sandalwood. Full-bodied, deep and concentrated, with ripe tannins, beautiful purity and impressive richness.
