There's a mix of fun cherry and serious stone on the nose of this blend of 52% Mourvèdre from Rancho Arroyo Grande and estate-grown 25% Grenache and 23% Syrah. The palate pops with a zesty fruit punch and hibiscus flavor that picks up a gravel minerality and white pepper spice on the finish. - Matt Kettmann
Profile
Our 2nd bottling of Mirabilis is a very different blend than its predecessor: 52% Mourvèdre, 25% Grenache, and 23% Syrah. The Grenache and Syrah were sourced from our Islay Hill Estate Vineyard and Mourvèdre from Rancho Arroyo Grande Vineyard.
This blend offers complex aromas of red and dark berries, leather and an array of herbs—rosemary, thyme, and lavender. The palate is bold with more dark berries, purple florals and warm, savory spices.
