Needs more acid. Great Flavors. But creamier than I would like.

Nov 29th, 2015Salmon color with lifted red berry, melon, blood orange, wet stone, ocean breeze and a hint of damp dusty earth aromas. On the palate it's medium-bodied, layered and fresh with fine concentration and mixed melon, stone fruit, red berry, flavors with and herbal note and a very giving mineral driven dry finish. Great value at $22!

Last of our case of 2014. Faded salmon colour. Herbs and hay on the nose. Appealing. Generous, wide palate, a touch of sweetness. More herbs and garlic spears. Short glycerin finish. Drink up.

Yes way rose! Served with pesto, arugula turkey burgers with nut/dried fruit faro. Crisp, balanced rose.

Feb 21st, 2016Well-balanced rose, with a bit more body than the usual Provençal. Paired very well with the ratatouille.

Possibly a perverse choice for winter storm Jonah . Served just cool with a crackling pork chop and a mound of eggplant caponata, it give me the will to live and hope for a Bandol Mourvèdre before spring.
