Dark ruby red color. This nose offers violet, dark berries and peppery notes. The palate is dense and structured with nicely firm tannin, layers of peppery dark fruit, juicy, with a very good length, still young but potent.

Sourced from low yielding, 40-year-old Mourvedre vines that sit on the western edge of the property. Named for the peppery notes from this varietal that emerge when one keeps skins in contact with the wine for a longer period of time. Aged in mostly used, tight grain Eastern European barrels to bring aromatic complexity without adding overwhelming oak flavors.
