…Grenache Noir, 11% Cabernet Sauvignon, 5% Cinsault and 1% Viognier. Cream and cherry aromas with, yes, a deep chocolate character. Deep yet smooth and very drinkable.

…wilder blend. It is primarily Grenache and Mourvedre but there is also Cinsault, Syrah, Carignan, Cabernet Sauvignon, Castet, Manosquin, Théoulier, Tibouren, Picpoul Noir and Muscat de Hambourg. Like a roll call of Southern French grapes there. Shocked there is no Lladoner Pelut. Today I am very very excited to be able to offer one of the great wines of the word, Chateau Simone, both the blanc and rouge Palette for as little as $ 49.99 a bottle on a six pack. …

I was really excited to try this wine. You don't see a lot of single-variety Cinsault, even from France, and I had a great lunch with the CEO of Michael David when he came to Memphis a few years ago. Produced from 127-year old vines, this wine goes deep with an earthy nose of beef and leather, though red cherry elements start to emerge later. Smooth and tasty with a lingering finish. Highly recommended, and a great bargain. …

…76% Syrah, 20% Mourvedre, and 4% Cinsault. It's fresh! It's lively! Flavors of pomegranate, citrus, cherries and strawberry-rhubarb pie. A great wine to pair with your renegade gatherings, especially a backyard BBQ. Pair with salads, grilled salmon, and a plate of assorted cheeses. Okay, so you're a tough dude and you want pork chops and a pot of beans? Yes, this wine will pair just fine.

…major decant this wine is usually a blend of Carignan, Mourvedre, Cinsault, Syrah and Grenache. The grapes are a factor but this is a true "gout de terroir" wine. Big, ripe, so deep and with so much nuance and breeding one can forget they are drinking a Languedoc wine. Toothsome is maybe the perfect one word descriptor for this elixir. Age these babies as they are stunning with age.

Though Restaurant Week had not started yet, Massimo made the menu available to us and it includes a choice of 4 First Courses, 4 Entrees and 2 Desserts. You could start with a dish like the Fried Zucchini Blossoms or Pan Roasted Duck Breast and then move on to a dish like the Grilled Sirloin Steak…
With spring just around the corner, my pick for this Mourvèdre Monday is a lovely little Bandol rosé. Bandol, located within Provence, is France's only wine region where Mourvèdre is the dominant grape. In other words, heaven. I couldn't find the exact varietal composition of this bottle, but the Bandol AOC regulations require at least 50% Mourvèdre in its red and rosé wines (the rest most often Grenache and/or Cinsault).
