2020 Swordfight

The 2020 Rotie Cellars - El Corazon 'Swordfight' is a Mourvedre-Syrah blend from Walla Walla Valley, USA. It is described as an inky colored wine that begins with aromas of smoke, wet stone, and blood orange with a touch of milk chocolate. The palate offers freshness with dried herbs, cigar box, blackberry pie, and red currant, driven by good acidity and tension. Another critic notes that this blend of equal parts Mourvedre and Syrah shows ripe red fruits that dance with smoked brisket, tar, and wild blackberry flavors, being beautifully balanced with excellent length and a soft texture. It is a collaboration between Rotie Cellars and El Corazon.
