Côteaux Varois, Provence

Domaine Tempier

La Migoua Bandol Mourvedre Blend 2016

This can develop a while of course but nothing at all wrong with it right now with some choice southern-inspired thanksgiving leftovers. All about the garrigue and sun baked red fruit at this point, tertiary elements not really showing yet but ample structure to get there — a month ago

Château d'Esclans

Whispering Angel Côtes de Provence Rosé Blend

Minerality, crispness, mostly dry…a profile I love. I was pleasantly surprised by this find at Fred Meyer!

Sabine Aix en Provence Rosé Blend 2022

Pale salmon in color; grapefruit, strawberries, and flowers on the nose; high acidity; a hint of tannins; tastes like grapefruit rind and strawberries. Nellie and I really like it. — 19 days ago

Same as previous notes. One of my favs! So underrated, under-appreciated, and under priced. Let’s keep it that way! — a month ago

Château de Pibarnon (Comte de Saint Victor)

Bandol Mourvedre Blend 1998

17+ Still plenty of fruit! A little brown at rim, but otherwise little sign that it’s 26 years old, except that tannins all gone and a lot of deposit. — 2 months ago
