2019 Escapade

90% Mourvedre, 10% Grenache

This is a rare gem from Stillwater Creek Vineyard. It captivates with a fiery shade of garnet, complemented by a distinctive nose that bridges new world vibrancy with old world charm. Expect an aromatic profile filled with dark ripe fruits and soft scented violet, intertwined with savory spice notes and a touch of soft toasted vanillin. This complex bouquet sets the stage for a deeply satisfying tasting experience.  The first sip envelops the palate with the richness of plum pudding, cascading into layers of ripe brambleberry and black huckleberry, with a subtle flick of black pepper enhancing the complexity. These robust flavors are skillfully balanced, making each sip a discovery.  The finish introduces bright Bing cherry and dark cacao notes, providing a bright conclusion that is both polished and persistent, reflecting the wine’s structured and masculine style.
