All week 

On the heels of its biggest expansion in its seven year history, Arizona winery Carlson Creek Vineyard has released its first 100 percent Mourvèdre red wine. Although Carlson Creek has been planting the grape since 2010, the winery has always used that varietal in its Rule of Three wine, a Grenache, Syrah, and Mourvèdre blend. Try a pour at the winery's Scottsdale or Willcox tasting rooms.
