Delicious. On par with tempier but at a better price point. Ott is sweeter and has more melon to it but this is more akin to Tempier- more minerality but still an ethereal quality to it without being heavy. — 9 years ago

THIS... is... Seriously. Good. Phucking. shtuff. Surprisingly good...? Maybe. Luckily good..? Perhaps. Unless you've met Dirty: Which most of the wine drinking USA has -but, rather, intentionally fucking good. AND -possibly luckily too -as long as luck has something to do with exceptionally talented farming combined with tremendous desire(s) to make vibrant and ridiculously love-able fermented grape juice of pure integrity and a casually particular design. This wine is that friend you only get to see once a year, that one you cannot wait to see again. The wine is too young to rate with any opinion other than Rawesome, and while I've only had one bottle, I've certainly not had enough to offer an opinion against Rawsome -therefore tasting notes be damned -yet, this can be said: here is a clean wine, lacking brett or VA or other 'flaws'; a bright, refreshing jubilant anthem of untainted wine, an ode to a grape that will likely become California's bastard child once popularity hits and Dirty & Rowdy prices climb to astronomical, near Tempier-like pricing and ficcichlty to come by. (I liked ficcichlty over difficulty since spellcheck kept it purposely so did I.). Oh wait, they're already ficcichlt to come by. Damn it. — 11 years ago

The best of the Roses this year. Yet to try Tempier and Pibaron, but I hope to get to them before winter. Crisp and tart and refreshing. More citrus than raspberry. Alcohol is listed at 12.5%. — 9 years ago

I've been spoiled by tempier recently as that woman is just as graceful but a bit of a stronger voice... nonetheless this is on point for the location.all there is in this classic Bandol — 9 years ago

Great wine at a great spot. Bottle aged Mourvèdre is where it's at. Try the 2006 Terrebrune Bandol or any Tempier old vintage — 9 years ago

Really impressed that Delectable ID'd this wine. 100% Marsanne usually blended into Tempier Bandol Blanc. Grown in the front yard of the Lynch compound. Such a special and unique wine. Only bottled a couple times. Coming soon! #unicornwine #lynchsoils #StonioLynch — 9 years ago

Classic Provençal rosé, nice acidity, slightly salty mineral character but not the mouthfeel or juiciness of the 2014 Tempier Bandol rosé. Slightly harsh finish. Over pressed? — 9 years ago

I know, I could be having some Domaine Tempier Bandol Rouge or some Monastrell from Spain...no. I'm lucky enough to enjoy this elegant, sexy, sultry Mourvèdre...Arizona never tasted so good. — 10 years ago
