Mourvedre – 2014; William Chris Vineyards; Hye, Texas

Have to say, this 12-year-old Texas Mourvèdre is both surprising and impressive. Sourced from Lost Draw Vineyards in the Texas High Plains AVA, it sits at 14.3% ABV and still has balance after all these years. Moderate cranberry and cherry notes remain, joined by a touch of blackberry. A hint of smoke leads into a lingering leather finish. This beauty is a strong example of both single-vineyard Mourvèdre and how well this varietal in Texas can age. Cheers!
