And thanks for the Syncline reco - I was hoping to get some leads on non-CA domestic Mourvèdre. Cheers. Bean – sounds like I need to find some Twisted Oak.

And Ridge Mataro is a definite add to the list. Thanks, Ben. I’m a big fan of Cline, but I haven’t had the Mourvèdre Rosé in years. And Ridge Mataro is a definite add to the list. Thanks, Ben.

My favorite Washington Mouvedre is from Syncline. It was a double gold winner at the Seattle Wine Awards. It was commonly referred to as "sex in a bottle" I second the vote for the Twisted Oak Mouvedre (Monastrell). My favorite Washington Mouvedre is from Syncline.

They also make a Port-style fortified wine out of Mourvèdre. And if you can find a well-aged Ridge Mataro I think you'll be pretty happy.

Great post, and that sounds like a wine (and winery) I'd really dig. Thanks for turning me on to it. Thanks, Jake. Great post, and that sounds like a wine (and winery) I’d really dig.

There's definitely some fantastic Mourvedre out there. My recent favorite has been Broc Cellars 07 'Luna Matta Vineyards' from Paso Robles, which you should seek out if you haven't tried it yet. Here's my post on it: http://www.cherriesandclay.com/2009/12/13/sunday-school-7-in-all-its-rhone-like-glory/ Cheers Great idea! There’s definitely some fantastic Mourvedre out there.

I've tasted Quivira Mourvedre at the winery, but it's been years ago now. I'll keep an eye out for Juan Gil as well. Thanks for the recos! River of Skulls sounds like my kind of wine!
