On the nose, the 2024 vintage yields highly fragrant aromas of crunchy red cherry, wild cranberry, and ripe strawberry, layered with subtle undertones of fresh garden herbs, dried rose petals, and a touch of sun-dried tomato. The palate features a distinctive, playful attack balanced by crisp, mouthwatering acidity and a medium, silky body that carries a lovely intensity of red fruit without heavy weight. Fine, soft tannins frame the wine beautifully, introducing complex, distinctly Mediterranean accents of black olive, tea leaf, and earthy spice as it breathes, culminating in a prolonged, refreshing finish.

It pairs exceptionally well with classic Provençal dishes like grilled lamb chops encrusted with rosemary, slow-cooked beef stew, and wild game meats. The robust framework of the Mourvèdre also cuts cleanly through the fat of grilled burgers or a creamy risotto topped with steak tips. For a cheese course, it pairs beautifully with aged, hard cheeses such as Comté or Manchego, while an adventurous dessert pairing can include dark chocolate to complement the wine's baking spice and dark fruit finish.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e750ml\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Taylor's Wine Shop","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48284216099037,"sku":null,"price":46.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0918\/5318\/files\/fjagrths.jpg?v=1785440031"}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0918\/5318\/collections\/10BE8313-8D73-43BC-ABF0-223E7E8A65B1.png?v=1785548729","url":"https:\/\/taylorswineshop.com\/collections\/off-the-beaten-path-other-wines.oembed","provider":"Taylor's Wine Shop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
