Bandol Mourvedre Blend 2011

9.4

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

Coming from northwest province of Leon (Spain) the clay and slate soil help to produce these lush aromas and flavors of licorice, minerality, hint of spice and wild flower floral components. Nice medium body wine. That's what I'm talking about! I'm drinking it all tonight! ;)

Took a minute to blossom, but this really grew on me. It first smelled like an old, molding root cellar. — 11 years ago

Wonderful nose with dark fruit and some herbaciousness. The full body Cabernet has great structure and long velvety finish. It an excellent pairing for the bison sirloin and roasted root vegetable medley all with a balsamic reduction. — 12 years ago

9.1

I wasn't going to rate this wine at first, but after downing a six pack after a couple weeks I figured something is working here. It's definitely not your bread and butter pinot, and if you're a classic pinotvitorian, this wine probably isn't for you. But I'm just digging these crazy notes of root beer, caramel, oak, bright cherry, with almonds lurking in the background. Great body to this wine, well balanced with just a hint of pepper on a lingering finish. It's rich, voluptuous, and satisfying. As a club member I'm paying $28 a bottle and that feels like a deal. Good chance I'll be doubling down again soon. — 10 years ago
