Château de Pibarnon (Comte de Saint Victor)

Bandol Mourvedre Blend 2011

Delicious Mourvèdre a la Bandol -this 2011 is exceptional with black and red cherries, licorice root, vine clippings in all their pruned sap, and an herbaceous Mediterranean wisp of lavender. Such a star! — 10 years ago

Cerasuolo di Vittoria Classico Frappato Nero d'Avola 2008

Beautiful color, with red fruits and some herbal component. Appealing acidity and well balanced. A lovely food wine at a very fair price. The Mediterranean islands are making great stuff. — 12 years ago

Clos Ste. Magdeleine

Cassis Blanc Marsanne Blend 2012

Low on the radar and I hope it stays that way as enjoyable as this wine is.
45% Marsanne, 30% Ugni Blanc, 20% Clairette, 5% Bourboulenc
From seaside vineyards, the plots lie within direct sight of the Mediterranean in some cases or are towered over by the palisade like cap Canaille which forms part of the coast in Cassis.
The aroma is of stone fruits, fresh white spring flowers, fennel spice, all accented salty sea air. The palate is juicy white peaches sprinkled with sea salt, with a touch of licorice like spice. Excellent acidity and body, with a refreshing and clean finish.

This looks delicious. I agree that the Mediterranean Sea has a wonderful affect on wine. Yum. Nice review.

Surprising. First thoughts #Mourvèdre + #garnacha + #mediterranean = big bold rustic wine. Nope! Totally the contrary, deep color but soft tannins floral aromas and blackberries. #Love it — 11 years ago

Domaine Sigalas

Santorini Assyrtiko 2013

Tenuta di Fessina

Erse Etna Bianco Carricante Catarratto

Super clean nose with a hint of dainty white flower. Rush of lemon-lime and chalk immediately brightens up the mouth with a slightly effervescent zing, then a continuing waltz of elegant acid and minerals dances through the mid-palate, finishing with the trademark Etna ashiness and a touch of Mediterranean salinity. — 10 years ago

Château Musar

Bekaa Valley Red Blend 2002

Scents of raisin, sumac, and alcohol, accented with date, fig, and raisin flavors. The high alcohol content makes it a bit hot to taste -- and sounds off-putting, but this wine works. Really well. The per bottle price at Zaytinya reflects a 3x markup, which is fair enough, but I'd buy this over and over again at $53 to have at home with a Mediterranean themed meal. — 10 years ago
