A well-composed, textural and flavorful mourvedre with sweet cherries, wild herbs and warm spices on the nose, following through to a medium body with fine tannins. Velvety texture to the polished structure. Dense core of berries with a long, flavorful and juicy finish.

Campbell Mattinson - The Wine Front

The Dog Strangler is such an unusual name for a wine, in the modern world. I understand the history of the name of course. Balance isn’t the sexiest of words but it often results in the most enjoyment. This wine is just so well balanced. It’s mid-weight, well-fruited, laced with leather and dark earth notes, and melted with fine-grained tannin. Blueberry, raspberry and roasted spice notes are the drivers but there’s plenty going on if you care to look. Oak is barely noticeable, just a gentle cedar-smokiness. It’s a lovely wine.
