This 79 case production wine comes from the rocks in Walla Walla and was aged in 20% new French oak and 80% neutral French oak, being released in May of this year. This is a 100% Mouvedre wine from the Monette’s Vineyard in the Walla Walla Valley. Lovely smoky aromas of smoked pork shoulder, black olive, orange rind and black cherry. This is pretty shut down for more than two hours upon opening and needs more than an hour out of the bottle for the fruit to integrate. There are lovely red fruit Flavors of red cherry, raspberry and smoked meats as well. This mineral driven wine needs time to develop. (Best 2017-2030) - August, 2015 (OB)
