Revealing a deep purple color and terrific notes of plum, blackberries, singed herbs, cedary spice and leather, the 2014 Demoiselles Proprietary Red is full-bodied and gorgeous on the palate, with building richness, fine tannin and a great finish. Made from 60% Mourvedre, 30% Syrah and 10% Grenache that spent 14 months in 40% new French oak, it possesses a deep, concentrated mid-palate and the structure and balance to evolve for a decade or more. Readers looking to see what top flight Mourvedre from Paso Robles tastes like need to latch onto this wine. (JD)
