Mourvèdre – 2013; Lewis Wines; Johnson City, Texas

2013…ugh!  A very late spring frost in Texas did not bring high hopes for that year’s crop, but what did come through was some excellent fruit.  This Texas High Plains sourced Mourvèdre from Lost Draw Vineyards is not only aging well but drinking nicely right now.  The color of the pour is a light red hue, and you will immediately discern a lovely cherry bouquet with a bit of pepper.  Savor that first sip and brace yourself for some big plum flavors mingled with a bit of cranberry.  There is a slight silky texture to it followed by a lingering long finish.  You could probably cellar this vintage a couple more years or so, but why wait when it is tasting so great now? Plus, your barbeque is begging for this pairing. Cheers!
