Peter Franus Mourvèdre

Subtle and alluring wine from Peter Franus that expresses a unique varietal. subtle pink peppercorns burst forth on the sensation before a soothing warmth that unfolds amidst a tapestry of light spices. Clearly the result of a masterful production, this captivating brew offers nuance, sophistication, and pinpoint clarity from start to finish. The modest ratings are likely a reflection of the few reviews - this 2013 vintage is sumptuously graceful and highly recommended. A respectable 4.5 stars. Note: 15.5% ABV.

Supple and approachable wine that pairs well with a variety of dishes, accompanied by roast pork. Its mellow body and fruity suggestions make it a stellar accompaniment to this type of cuisine.

Intense and full-bodied with a luscious texture, enhanced by a polished smoothness, and a nuanced whisper of sweetness. The sweetness is ripe and indulgent, with a whisper of vanilla from the oak aging process. A classic style of California wine, this full-bodied red is a perfect match for a intense dry-aged ribeye. It's a mouthful, to be sure, but one that will leave you wanting more.
