wow. an incredible (and affordable) example of what mourvèdre can be in certain nooks and crannies of the sierra foothills and in certain hands. here winemaker and owner hank beckmeyer has made a silk mountai wine out of a tough vintage, taking organically farmed mourvèdre from the folks over at cedarville (who have their own label too) and made a gorgeous, pure and rich rhône with perfumed notes of plum, smooth spice and a good dose of earth, all easy on the palate with fresh acidity and a velvety texture. very little sulfur was used.
