With ripe black fruit and aromas of blackberry jubes hitting first, this is a pretty sleek Mourvèdre. Don’t fret though, there’s plenty of salami and blood sausage underneath. In the mouth, the fruit is tart and bouncy, with raging, sticky tannins and a lovely, effortless flow. The thing about Swinney is that they are meticulous in the vineyard, and this wine is a great example: varietal typicity and pristine fruit are evident before you even begin to ponder winemaking intervention. The finish is slightly charry. Drink with a thick-ass steak and a kick-ass friend.
