The
›2002 Hecula‹, a custom cuvee made for the American market, is a 100 %
Mourvedre (grown in pure limestone at an altitude of 800 meters) aged in equal parts tank and French oak. There are 12000 cases of this deep ruby/purple-colored, dense effort. It offers big, substantial blackberry, earthy, currant flavors with hints of cherry and licorice in the background. Surprisingly intense and pure, it represents a terrific bargain. Enjoy it over the next 2-3 years.
