Took to a graduation party. Served chilled. Nose of strawberry, melon, mineral. On the palate there was more strawberry, melon, minerals, a little white pepper. Really clean finish and good acidic balance. This was a really nice rose that had minerality and complexity that I look for. I wouldn't put it in Tempier's realm just yet, but for the price its hard to beat. Drink. 50+5+11+16+7

Bandol Bliss (Weygandt Wines, Cleveland Park, Washington D.C.): Light pink color, with strong minerals, strawberry and kiwi flavors. I thought this was a very fresh and lively rose that was drinking very well - stacks up really nicely against the more expensive Tempier Bandol Rose that are $10-$15 more.
