Animale 2009 Mourvèdre (Red Mountain)

Country: US /
Variety: Mourvèdre Washington
Winery: Animale / Red Mountain

A first for Animale, and a terrific success, despite the almost 16% alcohol. Bursting with ripe berry flavors, this complex and flat-out delicious wine goes well beyond its highly-extracted black fruit. Wet rock, chalk and mineral extend and enhance the finish, with a chocolaty kiss at the very end.
