The 2018 Mourvèdre is a blend of 85% Mourvèdre

Manoir Gay Vintage:2010 The racy and intense middleStill a bit tight, with a strong graphite layer holding the core of plum, fig and blackberry at bay for now. Dark licorice root, espresso and ganache flavors drive the finish, which has a muscular and still chewy edge. Cellar short term. Best from 2014 through 2022. JM
