Forlorn Hope Mataro "Rorick Vineyard" Calaveras County 2014

Matthew Rorick's "Estate" vineyard in Murphys, Calavaras County. Mataro, aka Mourvedre (Mataro is the grape name in Spain). Smell and taste raspberry jam (without sweetness), Indian spices, cola, light soy, dry aged beef. Light tannins, medium acidity, neutral oak aged, so no barrel flavor. Try this with BBQ Ribs (no sauce).
