Front Porch Farm Mourvèdre Russian River Valley 2014

Organic farm just east of Healdsburg where they raise livestock and grow fruits, vegetables, grains, flowers ... and grapes. Made by Sebastien Pochan (long-time Unti winemaker). Bright, ripe, and juicy fruit up-front: get cherries and red and blue berries followed by soy sauce, saddle leather, and a hint of dark chocolate. Fine tannins, bright acidity. "One foot in California and one in the Rhone."
