2025 Swinney Mourvedre Rosé

95 POINTS

Erin Larkin - Robert Parker Wine Advocate

I'm so glad to be reviewing this 2025 Mourvèdre Rosé now, rather than when it was released. It looked so tight then, and now, just six months later, it is showing textural complexity and softness through the finish, all of which make for pleasurable drinking. This captures all of the earthy, spicy notes inherent in the Mourvèdre grape, while also drawing the fine/dusty/earthy qualities up from the terroir and bringing them to the glass. There are notes of rose petals too. This is a lovely wine. It is savory, dry, shapely and long. It will likely age well too. 13.1% alcohol, sealed under screw cap.
