The hidden gem of Rhone-style varietals, this Mourvedre is characterized by flavors and aromas of dark cherry, licorice, cloves, and white pepper. A soft velvety dark chocolate finish makes this wine a great choice for any occasion. Pair with marinated lamb or a classic dish like roasted duck breast in plum sauce.
