Ousness
Tasting Notes
Ousness is the latest release in PRIE’s Orthogonal Cabernet program — a bold, non-vintage blend that brings together the structure of Cabernet Sauvignon with the lift and brightness of Mourvèdre. This unexpected pairing delivers a layered wine with dark cherry, black currant, and violet on the nose, followed by a plush, medium-full palate marked by fresh berries, soft spice, and balanced tannins.
The Cabernet brings depth and polish, while the Mourvèdre lends energy and a vivid red fruit profile. A fresh, modern red blend that’s as versatile as it is distinctive.
