White flowers, strawberry, rhubarb, white peach. Medium bodied with structured acidity. Lovely on a hot day but has enough heft to pair well with salmon pasta. — 2 months ago

Aromas of leather, tree bark and black fruits. A rich and powerful ultra savoury wine with ripe black fruits, a dash of black pepper and fading raspberry- silky intensity. Works perfectly with BBQ Lamb Chops. Still going strong at 18 years from a good year in Bandol. The following night - consistent notes. Predominantly Mourvèdre in the blend together with Grenache and Cinsault I believe but not sure of the exact percentages. In 2004 it was 90% Mourvèdre and 10% Grenache. — 2 months ago

Dark ruby in color with a reddish rim.

Fruity nose of red fruits with earth, herbs and chocolate notes.

Dry and fruit forward on the palate with raspberries, cherries, peppercorn, spices, coffee, dark chocolates, earth, light cedar, tobacco leaf and herbs.

Long finish with round tannins and tangy cherries.

This is a delicious Mourvedre from Bandol. Elegant and nicely balanced with a nice mouthfeel.

Drinking beautifully now, although still young, and will continue to age nicely in the next 10 to 15 years.

Complex and delicious right now. Good by itself or with food.

A blend of 90% Mourvedre and 10% Grenache. Aged for 22 months in large French oak barrels.

14.5% alcohol by volume.

Pale lemon in color.

Strong nose and medium plus in body with medium plus acidity.

Dry on the palate with nice complexity and a soft mouthfeel.

Showing limes, grapefruits, gooseberries, earth and spices.

Long finish with limes and almonds.

This is a delicious Bandol white. Rich, tangy and fruit forward. Has a New world Sauvignon Blanc feel.

Expressive and spicy. Complex and nicely balanced. Really enjoyed the nose here.

Would be nice to revisit it in 3 years and see how it evolves.

A great sipping wine that will pair nicely with food too.

A blend of 60% Clairette, 30% Ugni Blanc with 10% Vermentino and Bourboulenc. Grapes are handpicked, and aged for 10 months in used oak barrels.

12.5% alcohol by volume .

Reddish in color with a wide reddish rim and medium intensity.

Pretty nose with wild flowers, red fruits, light earth, herbs, tobacco leaf, light oak, sweet cherries and spices.

Medium bodied and smooth with medium acidity.

Dry on the palate with cherries, cooked plums, oak, tobacco, licorice, chocolates, herbs, spices and earth.

Tangy finish with fine grained tannins and raspberries.

This 20 years old red blend from Bandol is absolutely fantastic. Drinking very nicely right out of the bottle, and feels fresh and engaging.

This Single Vineyard is elegant and powerful. Complex and nicely balanced.

A great sipping wine that will also pair nicely with food.

A blend of 55% Mourvedre,
25% Cinsault, 15% Grenache and 5% Syrah. Aged for 18 months in large French oak barrels.

Delicious summer drinking. Great with cheese and crackers while floating on the river. Notes of peach, a little bit of white flowers and grapefruit, and mineral on the tail. No bitterness that I sometimes find in (cheaper) rosé or Sauvignon blanc. — 2 months ago

Great Rosé but not as good as other vintages. Light flavor and lots of vanilla, but strawberry flavor is thin. Good value at $65. — 3 months ago
