If you are looking for an amazing Mourvedre go to Donkey and Goat and let me know what you think. A little more than 7.99 but worth every penny.

@Bill That sounds like a screaming deal. I know where I am headed this weekend!

Jade Mountain Lake County Syrah (07) from World Market for $7.99 is fantastic. Should give that one a try if there is still any around. A big fruit bomb well worth the price.

@sparkleball_lady I've had the Albero Tempranillo as well, just grabbed another bottle to reconfim my original prognosis. That said, Albero has a Monastrell as well which is Spanish for, your guessed it, Mourvedre. Maybe you should give that one a try. @Don Chambers I was likewise appalled given I do digital marketing for my day job. Sent them an email saying so but never heard back...

Jade Mountain certainly doesn’t want any traffic to their website, based on the gauntlet of information required.
I guess I’ll pass on their wine; anyone stupid enough to require all of that to view a page, does not need my business, no matter if they made the finest wine in the world.

Jason,

I will definitely look for this. Thanks! Although I must say my last mourvedre (Cline) was disgusting. When I posted on Chow.com about it, I got an earful about mourvedre’s penchant for “barnyard” or even “shit-scent.” It made me a bit leery of the grape. But for you, I’ll try again.

That said, last night we had the Albero Tempranillo (Trader Joe’s) and it was OUTSTANDING! Best wine of 09 for us so far. Thanks for your intrepid tasting. And I’m back to TJ to grab as much Albero as I can before it too vanishes.
