Enz Vineyard is Birichino's historic cuvée. This 100% Mourvèdre has a lovely, bright, garnet-red color. The nose is intense and complex, with notes of black fruits and spices. The palate is fine and taut, with a freshness and greediness that call for a second glass. Birichino never ceases to surprise!
