WTN: Marvelous Ms. Mourvèdre

2022 Extradimensional Wine Co. Yeah! Marvelous Mourvedre - USA, California, San Francisco Bay, Contra Costa County (6/30/2023)
Well this umm…marvelous! When I first opened it there was boisterous red fruit and fresh herbs. Then on the palate there was a funky, earthy bass note. It was easy to drink but also compelling to ponder, like a meaningful passage in a great book. Due to non-wine obligations the last glass plus was left for a couple of days later. It transformed into the library room of a very old house, but with a Jackson Pollock on one wall, the riotous color and random strokes contrasting with the old wood and leather of the rest of the room. Fun juxtaposed with seriousness - crazy with formal. The new world grape expression contrasted with the old world root of Mourvèdre. Hardly shocking that a Hardy Wallace Mourvèdre would manage to straddle the old and new, in fact I expect it.

Poetic note, so descriptive. And it sure sounds like my kind of North American wine.

I suspect you would like Hardy's wines. I would gladly send you a sampling if such things were easier.

I know, thanks for the thought.
