Retail $28. Under screw cap. 60% Mourvèdre, 25% Cinsault, 15% Grenache. Fairly light in the glass, particularly for a Bandol with aromas of rose petal, strawberry, and rhubarb. The palate is quite tart, but certainly still fruit-driven, with multiple layers of flavor. Red berry, watermelon, peach, a real fruit bowl going on. That acidity, though, really holds it all together, highlighting a bit of spice along the way and carries the wine all the way to the lasting finish. Very nice.
