A cuvee made for winemaker Brennen Leighton's wife and a field blend of 70% Mourvedre, 25% Grenache, and 5% Syrah, the 2017 Gratitude ranks with the finest Mourvedres to come from the state. Awesome notes of black raspberry liqueur, incense, ground pepper, and forest floor give way to a medium to full-bodied, ripe, powerful yet weightless 2017 that does everything right. It's already just about impossible to resist, yet my money is on it evolving for a solid decade.
