This is pure Mourvèdre from the McKinley Springs vineyard, a still-rare varietal in Washington with intriguing prospects. Without its Rhône cousins in the mix, Mourvèdre turns almost Bordeaux-like, firm and lightly herbal, with pretty black cherry fruit dominant. This is well-made, balanced and fresh, though the grapes are too young to have acquired the nuances of more established vines. A very good start for a promising new winery.
