Andremily Wines Mourvedre 2023 750ml

A blend of 87% Mourvèdre and 13% Syrah vinified with 70% whole clusters and aged 21 months in 50% new French oak, the 2023 Andremily Mourvedre is a massive wine that does everything right. Ripe, spicy red and black fruits, ground pepper, camphor, and graphite all define the nose, and on the palate, it's rich and full-bodied, with a monster of a mid-palate, velvety, polished tannins, flawless balance, and a great, great finish.

The 2023 Mourvèdre is wild, feral and undeniably beguiling in its intoxicating aromatic profile of turned earth, game, truffle, wild herbs and ripe red berry fruit. It’s another wine that deftly displays the house style of big, concentrated flavors in a deceptively well-proportioned frame. It’s also totally singular, and quite unlike any other Mourvèdre I've ever tasted from California. A citrusy, polished finish leaves a long echo. This is a fabulous effort from Jim Binns — like a house calling card. - Billy Norris
