Our winemaking team sports matching t-shirts emblazoned with the slogan, “More Védre” as they can’t get enough of it! This is a variety that is close to our hearts and our wine glasses. We planted a significant amount of Mourvèdre as we knew it would give us a rainbow of wines – from complex rosé to rich reds. It has lived up to our highest expectations.
We now produce three wines from the Mourvèdre variety. The first we produced was our Amphora Mourvèdre, which is now joined by Mourvèdre Rosé and this new Troon Vineyard wine release to our Wine Club members, 2024 Mourvèdre. Each is a distinct expression of this variety and our vineyard.
There were only 174 cases produced of this richly colored and flavored wine, which displays the complex earthy characteristics that define this variety. While our Amphora Mourvèdre emphasizes freshness and brightness, this wine, our wood-aged Mourvèdre, exhibits more power, structure, and ageability.
Outstanding. 93 Points — 2024 Troon Vineyard Mourvèdre, Applegate Valley, OR: Retail $45. Responsible Bottle (505g; 17.8oz). Under DIAM Origine 10 stopper. 100% Mourvèdre. Biodynamic. I was going to list all of the certifications for this wine, but the list is long, and I try really hard to keep my tasting notes under 200 words (really, I do). While I have reviewed the Amphora version of Mourvèdre from Troon numerous times, this is my first foray into the “standard” version (calling any of Troon’s wines “standard” seems wrong, but moving along). I have stated numerous times, without the slightest hesitation, that I am no fan of Mourvèdre. I find the variety overly meaty and a bit funky. Both of those attributes apply to this Troon, but I have to say, at the risk of hyperbole, that Troon wines just seem happy, and it is really difficult to dislike a happy wine. For me, happy wines exude confidence and joy, giddy that the farm where they are made is healthy, vibrant, thriving, and, well, also happy. Anyone who has ever set foot on the Troon property in the last, say 5-8 years, knows exactly what I mean. The lengths to which Troon goes to establish and maintain a healthy and happy ecosystem on the farm are nothing short of extraordinary. And it certainly shows in the wine. Juicy, fruity, tart, and layered, but also meaty and a tad funky, this “standard” Mourvèdre comes really close to getting me “hooked” on the variety as a whole. This wine is not only delicious, but it is also versatile; pair it with pizza, pasta, roast pork, or just sip it while binging on your latest guilty pleasure. By the third (second?) sip, that meaty funkiness will not only become more palatable, but you will also find it enticing. I really don’t like Mourvèdre, but once again, I love this Troon.
