"The 2003 Tablas Creek Vineyard Mourvèdre is Tablas Creek's first bottling of its 100% Mourvedre. The wine is classically Mourvedre in character, with cherry, fig, mocha and spice flavors, medium to full body, and a spicy, appealing finish of saddle leather and loam.
The Mourvedre grapes were destemmed and then fermented using native yeasts in a balance of small open-top and enclosed stainless steel tanks. After three weeks, they were pressed, and moved to a balance of new and old French oak barrels to complete their fermentation. The red wines were assembled in June of 2004, and aged for an additional year in 1200-gallon foudres, before being bottled in May 2005. The wine underwent only a light filtration before bottling, and should be expected to throw a sediment over time.
The 2003 Mourvèdre displays a classic nose of roasted meats, cherries and spice. Juicy and full in the mouth, it features lingering notes of coffee, chocolate and leather, with a pronounced mineral finish."

"The 2003 Mourvedre offers notes of saddle leather, resiny, loamy soil, cherries, plums, and figs as well as a hard finish. It requires consumption during its first 5-7 years of life."
