Reserve Bandol Rosé
Bandol, Provence, France
Strawberry, rhubarb, rich palate, great acidity. I’d love to make a rosé like this.

Bandol: pink or white.
It’s a slight culture shock as a moron gringo in the South of France when wines by the glass are identified not by producer or even by grape but simply by place. Bandol didn’t mean much to me as a place, I drove through it en route to Toulon from Marseille but that was about it. Probably it was the fact that it was a vague homonym for bandit drew me to it — which is admittedly kind of lame, but the wine seemed to deliver. Any more than the progeny of any other Mediterranean town would have? Je ne sais pas. But this wine right here is a phenomenal rosé.
50% Mourvèdre, 40% Cinsault, 10% Grenache from Bandol.

Yes sir! Abundant strawberry and hints of the sea. This is an excellent blend of Mourvèdre, Cinsualt, and Grenache. One of the better Rose I’ve quaffed.
