2021 Wilfred

The 2021 Wilfred, an elusive wine, is poised to repeat the fantastic vintage of 2018. The cooler season has brought an intensity to this ravishing Mourvèdre. With a splash of Grenache and Syrah, its foundation weaves a tapestry of opulent color and racy acidity dancing with luscious black fruits and a seduction of wild lupines and herbs, while whispers of mahogany and camphor add depth. Shy at first, marjoram and a touch of thyme seesaw with red vine licorice and white pepper aromas. Very energetic on the front palate providing freshness to zesty plums, while mid palate plush is angular accentuating umami flavors of tomato and oyster mushrooms, culminating to an herbal meadow and a velvety tannic finish.
