This pure expression of Mourvèdre from the Texas High Plains showcases the variety's distinctive character with compelling complexity. Intriguing aromas of graphite and rich cranberry compote lead to a palate filled with flavors reminiscent of strawberry rhubarb pie, enhanced by a distinctive anise note that adds depth and intrigue. The careful oak program—blending French and American oak with predominantly neutral barrels—allows the wine's unique terroir-driven characteristics to shine while providing structure and subtle spice. This food-friendly red pairs beautifully with hearty dishes like venison ragu, where its earthy minerality complements the rich, gamey flavors, or alongside grilled lamb chops, where the wine's herbal notes and balanced tannins enhance the meat's natural richness.
