The 2023 Andremily Mourvèdre (Santa Barbara County) is a Rhône-style red from Jim Binns’ small Ventura-based project, best known for sourcing fruit across Santa Barbara County and for its Sine Qua Non lineage—Binns is widely described as a protégé of Manfred Krankl. For this bottling, a retailer technical sheet reports a focused blend of **87% Mourvèdre and 13% Syrah**, with the 2023 vintage **30% destemmed** and raised for **21 months in 50% new French oak** (barrels and demi-muids). Production is listed at **900 cases**, placing it in the realm of limited but not microscopic California output.

While no vintage-specific professional critic note or score for the 2023 Mourvèdre was available in the supplied material, the published descriptors point clearly to the house style: a substantial, structured Mourvèdre built for power and grip. One listing frames the wine simply as “**red, rich and intense**,” a straightforward summary that matches the producer’s reputation for dense, Rhône-inspired reds (Wine-Searcher listing, as quoted in the research). Another merchant description leans more tactile, calling it “**high in tannins, dry, and grippy**” (BSW Liquor). Taken together, those remarks suggest a wine that prioritizes dark-fruited concentration, savory depth, and firm architecture over early softness.

There are also a few practical caveats worth noting. Some online listings appear to conflate this Mourvèdre with a different Andremily Rhône-blend labeled “California,” showing a materially different cépage; the most specific 2023 data, however, supports the 87/13 Mourvèdre-Syrah composition. In the absence of published 2023 critic reviews, the best guidance here is stylistic: expect a serious, oak-matured Santa Barbara Mourvèdre that will likely reward time at the table—and potentially time in the cellar—given its reported tannic profile.
