Mourvèdre – 2016; 7 Creeks Vineyard; Burnet, Texas

This was one of the inaugural wine releases by 7 Creeks Vineyard when they opened. Sourced from Texas High Plains, this vintage underwent cryo-maceration which is reflected in the fabulously smooth flavor and texture of this great red wine.  At five years old, there is a light purple translucence against the backlight.  The red fruit aromas are quite intense.  Those first few sips are equally pleasing with a touch of spice, everything nice and some earthy undertones. With moderate tannins and good acids, this easy drinking Mourvèdre can be paired with a wide variety of great dishes. It is literally so nice and smooth, that it is equally enjoyable on its own as well. Well done 7 Creeks Vineyard. Enjoy!
