"Very well-balanced. The tannins have now rounded out but the acidity is prominent enough to keep the alcohol in check and allow a terrific Bouquet to be released: sweet red cherries licorice BlackBerry and lots of warm spices..." - Ian Cauble from SommSelect — 8 years ago

When my pal, Ian Cauble, MS, tells me it's the best rose on the market, I figured I had to try it. He was right. Typical Bandol complexity, bone dry, strawberry, and much more. Great for pairing with food. — 9 years ago

2015. Doesn't pretend to be anything other than it is. Bright red fruit combined with expected minerality. Too easy to drink and a great match tonight with grilled bone-in pork chops. Wish I had bought a case. Thanks to David Lynch and Ian Cauble for a great pick. At $18 more than satisfying QPR. Magnums next time. — 8 years ago
