The 2008 Mourvedre Coyote Canyon Vineyard is a glass-coating opaque purple color. It sports an inviting nose of underbrush, brier, Asian spices, incense, garrigue, and plum. Dense, ripe, and complex, this lengthy Mourvedre captures the essence of this grape in a big way. James and Poppie Mantone’s Syncline Wine Cellars is on the eastern edge of the beautiful Columbia Gorge, an area better known for outdoor sports (fishing, boating, wind surfing) than wine production. The winery’s new collection is once again outstanding from beginning to end.Tel. (509) 365-4361; www.synclinewine.com

A sharp, edgy, 100% varietal rendition of Mourvedre. Loaded with plum flavor, plenty of spice, and tannins that are fairly soft and round, carrying a hint of pepper.——P.G.(9/1/2009)—— 88
