The 2006 Mister Moreved (79% Mourvedre and 21% Grenache) appears to be Core’s take on the Mediterranean appellation of Bandol. Hints of tree bark, fresh porcini mushrooms, red and black currants, and cherries are found in this medium-bodied, backward, tannic 2006. It possesses plenty of personality and character, and will benefit from another year or so of bottle age. Drink it over the following 5-7 years. These wines often need time to settle down given what is clearly an artisanal, non-interventionalistic winemaking style.Tel. (805) 714-5057; Fax (805) 938-7567
