2017 Mourvèdre

Five acres of Seven Oxen Vineyard are devoted to Mourvèdre, and another four acres were planted with the varietal in 2014. Because of our minimalist approach in the winery, Seven Oxen’s Mourvèdre is a true representation of the varietal, made unique by the complex characteristics of the vineyard’s natural environment. This lean, bright wine has well-balanced acidity, with notes of rose petals, black currant, and thyme on the nose. Boysenberry, ripe plum, and blackberry on the palate are balanced with an earthy spicy finish consistent with a true single-varietal Mourvèdre wine.
