I liked this wine! Beautiful looking; nice compromise between stark dry and overly fruity. Bland? If you want a more in your face rosé, shop California. Try a Pedrocelli or a Rodney Strong.

Meh in a glass. Attractive, burnished copper, but giving little on the nose and lacking that saline, sun-dried laundry aroma that makes Bandol rosés so compelling. Likewise on the palate: nothing overtly wrong, but lacking any real sense of place. This is decent, inexpensive rosé that could have come from almost anywhere.

Delicious. Full bodied, vibrant and full of life. Medium coral in the glass, pronounced flavors, bone dry, balanced and integrated, wild white fleshed strawberry, citrus, blood orange, rocky minerality, bit steely, high acidity, long finish leaves you want another sip. Classic Bandol with a strong nod to Provence.

Deep, rich, and lively. It becomes a little muddled on the mid palate but this is thoroughly evocative of Bandol rose... and tasty too. A winner at $17

The wine has the distinctive salmon/coral color of Bandol rosé. The wine has a medium finish with good acidity. Very tasty and a steal at $15.
