2015 Dirty and Rowdy Mourvedre FAMILIAR
Second time trying this bottling and the extra year definitely helped. Perfect serving temperature by using the Kelvin K2 Wine MOnitor, really made a big difference. Light to medium garnet red. Beautiful nose with notes of lilacs, spices, red berries and twigs. Medium tannins (5/10) and solid acidity. Light plus to medium bodied. Crushed floral notes on the palate with a touch of earthiness, dried cherries, raspberries, herbal notes, strawberries and rhubarb. Long finish.
Made up of 96% Mourvedre and 4% Petite Sirah. Only 1,087 cases produced.
If you have not heard of the Kelvin K2 Wine Monitor, you need to grab one. Usually $49.99 but use 'Millennial20' and only pay $39.99. Drinking at the right temperature makes a difference.

Price Point:
$$ - Purchased from the winery for $38.15.Second vintage of the FAMILIAR Mourvedre we have tried. Wine is a garnet red with a slight purplish hue with a moderate intensity. Lovely nose starting off a bit smokey with some raspberries and purple floral notes. Some cherry cola undertones that is very fresh and inviting. Day two this wine showed some dried herbs, flowers and smoked berries. Moderate tannins with a moderate plus acidity and light bodied. Palate started off with some unripe strawberries and some savory herbs. Definitely some dark unripe berries too, perfect for a hot summer day. Good texture and refreshing. Long and lingering finish that keeps changing.
