Kevin's (Rocknroller) House
Tasted June 5, 2019 by Mattshank with 150 views
Introduction
Wow we had a solid line up of chilled wines (and a Pinot but it too had a slight chill) on a perfect warm, and somewhat humid summer day. All wines showed well and some exceptional. As always thanks Kevin for having us all over.

Rosé
2017 Domaine Tempier Bandol Rosé

Nose: Peach and apricots in abundance with a saline minerality that takes you to the south of France. Fabulous. Palate: This shows off peaches with apricots and a firm mineral and acidic spine. As always...summer in a glass.
