The 2009 Mourvèdre displays heady aromas of plum, sandalwood, anise, and violet. A complex and layered palate of fresh mulberries, white pepper, and licorice finishes with a long, persistent tannin structure.

94 Point Review - James Halliday Deep colour from old vines aged for 20 months in French oak puncheons thus thoroughly taming the tannins without subduing the fragrant plum fruit of the bouquet and palate alike.

94 Point Review - The Wine Front This Mourvèdre from Turkey Flat spent 20 months in French oak puncheons. We have another winning Mourvèdre here. It’s dark berried and earthen, leathery and polished. Spicy, cedary oak makes a delicious contribution and its grainy, assertive, rusty tannin is a highlight. Lovely length. Medium-bodied but almost porty in its ripeness. Beautiful wine to drink even now though it can be cellared with confidence too.
