La Clarine Farm "Cedarville" Mourvèdre 2014

Claire Eliza

Clarine's wines are always confusing, immediately back away from this funky urinal cakey nose then ask for the rest of the bottle fifteen minutes later. I like it, it's weird, blinded thinking it was pineau d'aunis, it's light bodied, a bit smokey, plenty of lavender

Mouvèdre. Tough to ripen. Tough to make into a single varietal wine that won't confuse most casual wine drinkers. Here in America, It's the domain of wine nerds. This effort is no exception. Very light pale purple in the glass. Dried blue flowers and blueberry on the nose. On the palate an odd mix of dry brambly earth and powdery bubble gum from a baseball card pack. Did surprisingly well with the rib roast. Super interesting, but be sure you have the crowd.

Cloudy. Very estery, black tea. Whole cluster, lacks mid, low tannin, nice acidity. Not a typical Mataro.

Jonathan Gray

Dark fruit glou. The lord's hand in Cali for natty wine

unique for mourvedre, for all mourvedre, not just Cali. it's amazing. unique indeed, maybe due to the native fermentation of the house, but unlike anything you could possibly ever find. stone fruit and blood orange citrus upon opening; too reminiscent of white wine. then, guess what, it changes dramatically and evolves beautifully. cranberry and grapefruit acidity; much more savory after it's been exposed to oxygen for a few hours or days. this wine is a flavorite of mine from La Clarine.

Killing it. Beautiful stuff. So much flavor and insenity wrapped in a supple fine tannin body. More.
