This Spanish sleeper actually rates a 91 by Wine Advocate, so if you’re looking for a wine with street cred, here it is. It’s also a Mourvèdre varietal, which just dropping in everyday conversation will make you sound like a legit wine enthusiast. Pairs nicely with oversized glasses and a discussion on Faulkner.
