The 2020 Mourvèdre is blended with 12% Syrah and 2% Viognier. Grapes come from Andremily's new Slide Hill estate vineyard, the Alta Mesa Vineyard and Larner Vineyard in Santa Barbara County, plus the G2 vineyard in Paso Robles. It was vinified using 75% whole clusters and matured for around 21 months in 50% new French barriques and 600-liter demi-muids. It takes some time to reveal pure tones of star anise, tar, lilac and chocolate, which complement a deep core of boysenberry and blueberry fruit, and it gains in intensity and expression as it spends time in the glass. The palate offers highly concentrated, youthfully coiled fruit framed by powdery tannins and vibrant acidity, and it has a very long, layered finish. It will benefit from several years in bottle. 500 cases and a few magnums were made.
More meaty, gamey notes of black raspberries, blueberries, ground pepper, and hints of iron define the 2020 Mourvedre, another incredibly powerful, intense wine that stays flawlessly balanced. It's concentrated, has ripe, polished tannins, and nicely integrated acidity, all making for an incredible expression of Mourvèdre. This closes down with air, so I'd recommend trying a bottle over the coming year or two or giving it 5-7 years in the cellar. This is an insanely gorgeous bottle of wine that should see its 20th birthday in fine form.
