The 2022 Prima is a vivid, expression of 100% Mourvèdre, and one of the most rewarding grapes we grow. Known for its late ripening and capricious nature in the vineyard, this varietal requires both patience and precision, making Prima a true labor of love each vintage. Aged in a near-even split of puncheon (54%) and barrel (46%), with 70% new French oak, the wine gains depth and structure. The nose carries a lifted aromatic profile of wild blackberry, olallieberry, and fresh raspberry, woven together with savory undertones and warm spice. Its trademark earthy, almost forest-like intrigue, layered with hints of cinnamon and dried herbs. The palate is energetic and finely textured, with seamless tannins that move with purpose, from start to finish. Mourvèdre shines in Prima not only for its depth, but for the dynamic way it expresses both fruit and place. This is a wine that pulses with bold energy, layered nuance, and a vibrancy that’s impossible to ignore.
