A stunning effort, the full-bodied 2004 Mourvedre Black Sock, a combination of 85% Mourvedre, 10% Shiraz, and 5% Grenache, was aged in primarily old French oak. With peppery, floral notes interwoven with blueberries and black raspberries, nice layers, and a plump, lush texture, this impressive Mourvedre reveals none of the bitterness or stemmy, earthy character this varietal can possess. Enjoy it over the next 5-7 years.
