Wine from MCV Wines

Filter

MCV Wines opened its doors in 2011 with the purchase of four and a half tons of some of the highest quality Petite Sirah to be found in the Paso Robles AVA. Matt Villard eagerly jumped on the opportunity for these grapes and swiftly discovered an incredible wine making facility where he could in turn create his wines. Before harvest was over he found three more tons of Petite Sirah as well as some Grenache and Syrah totalling around 10 tons for 2011. Matt Villard is happy to say that they are still happily working with both the same original Petite Sirah vineyard and wine making facility.

Here at MCV, they focus on unique and interesting blends that revolve around Petite Sirah. This wonderfully dark and rich grape is smooth, elegant and delicious yet, bold, powerful and age-able. It has the unique ability to be made in various styles that can be used to create multiple wines from the same grapes. Their first two production years yielded around 500 cases each vintage. However, 2013 saw a small increase due to incorporating new grape varietals into the program and a couple new blends.

Review:

"A blend of 60% Grenache, 20% Syrah, 10% Cinsault and 10% Clairette, the 2022 Tavel La Reine des Bois is a touch darker in hue than its stablemate, the La Dame Rousse, but it's still not among the darkest of Tavels in the glass. That's perfectly okay, as the aromas and flavors are textbook for the appellation: crushed stone, flowering garrigue, ripe cherries and mouthwatering strawberries, all capped off by refreshing citrus-zest notes on the lengthy finish. Full-bodied and full-flavored, it's one of the candidates for top Tavel this year. - Joe Czerwinski"
