Bonny Doon Old Telegram Mourvedre 2000
Varietal: Mourvedre
Vineyard: Bonny Doon Vineyard
Region: Other California, California
This is an amazingly concentrated wine, un vrai monstre. We are so pleased to be back in the Telegram business again, having just inked a long-term contract with our friends, the Del Barbas of Oakley and environs. This wine made entirely from very old (100 yr.) mourvedre. ‘98 was an anomalous vintage, the latest that we had ever harvested mourvedre. The extra time on the vine has given the wine an extremely complex, aromatic profile and a modicum of finesse, its outsized physique notwithstanding.
