Yes, this is liquid luxury, on a pnp, young, and off vintage (fires). Can’t wait to try one with some years on it. — 17 days ago

I don’t think Ridge has off vintages

Right. Should have wrote “fires vintage.” I was explained the blind block selection process, and truly impressed.

Refreshing almost dry Rosé. We enjoyed it with chicken and by itself. Flavors of strawberry, citrus and minerals. — 14 days ago

Domaine Tempier

Bandol Rosé Blend 2022

Jay Kline
9.3

Popped and poured; enjoyed over the course of a few hours. The 2022 pours a pale coral color with a transparent core; medium viscosity. On the nose, the wine is developing with a refreshing mix of tart and ripe red fruits; strawberry, watermelon dry underbrush, red flowers, and wet stone minerals. On the palate, the wine is dry; tannins are light with medium+ acid. Confirming the notes from the nose. The finish is long and saline. Lovely texture. This continues to be a benchmark for rosé. Drink now through 2032. — 17 days ago

@Raun Kupiec both Pibarnon and Pradeaux make great Provencial rosé too. both LdH Tondonia Rosado and Chateau Musar Rosé are in the same category

I know the Musar Reds from the Bekaa Valley. Really excellent. Didn’t know they did a rosé, it if it is anything like their red it must be wonderful.

@Raun Kupiec it’s actually more close in resemblance to their Blanc but yes, lovely stuff.

Domaine de Fontsainte

Gris de Gris Corbières Grenache Gris Rosé 2023

Joe Christenson
9.1

Sweet melon, grapefruit, and stone fruit. Delicious and well balanced, with the acid exhibiting strong presence without overbearing the more subtle tastes of rose water and mineral. Delightful. — 17 hours ago

Vintage 2010 | I consider Brunello di Montalcino to be the greatest Italian wine. This is a nice example. Powerful. — 21 days ago

Possibly the last bottle of Rose this year. Lovely dark salmon color. Consistent wine throughout, see previous notes of other vintages. Probably a little past prime. — 14 days ago
