Andrew Murray Esperance 2015

This is a rich, concentrated wine with aromas and flavors of ultra-ripe strawberries, black cherries, and blueberries, mixed in with the spiciness of cinnamon and vanilla from the toasty new French Oak.

This rich red is a blend of 65% Grenache, 20% Syrah and 15% Mourvedre. It was given a more serious winemaking regimen with a bit more new oak. I also chose a "bigger" Syrah to blend in with the Grenache and Mourvedre, so the resulting wine is a bit more "profound". I think that it is perhaps the best Espérance that we have ever released.

All of the extra work yields a rich, concentrated wine with aromas and flavors of ultra-ripe strawberries, black cherries, and blueberries, mixed in with the spiciness of cinnamon and vanilla from the toasty new French Oak.
