I've squeezed all the mystery out of Tempier Rose' over the years. Consistently good. Consistently consistent.

Familiar salmon rose gold. Orange zippy bitter pith and grapefruit sours. Herbs de provence and mild tannin in a syrupy Bandolian texture.

Always hits...in exactly the same way. — 2 months ago

Outstanding. September 2017 bottle. Great sour and funky flavor. Citrus, some berry-like flavor. More funk than I remember. So good. I have to say that American sours are catching up to this standard. — 5 years ago

Just sending a shout out to my wine folks to stay strong in these testing times. I’m on the whisky sours...
(Makes two)
2 measures whisky (Woodfords is great for this, but Yamazaki is what I had in)
1 measure lime juice
1/2 measure sugar syrup (or more to taste)
1/4 measure Nardini Acqua Di Cedro
Dash bitters

Shake with plenty ice until you can’t feel your hands. Serve over big ice cubes.

Good luck out there ❤️

This is fantastic! Huge amount of sour on first sips, but the flavors just keep evolving over 30 seconds. Rose and tropical fruit apparent. Definitely finishes with the loveliest touch of orange. One of the best sours I’ve ever had. — 9 years ago

With age gets more cherry syrup on the nose, some oak, a bit of citrus, and baking spice. Palate is insanity. Sweet cherries, tart green apple, some sweet malt, vanilla, baking spice, I think apple butter as well. Underlying all of this is a funky, acidic citrus/forest component. The taste lingers for minutes and evolves. One of the best sours I’ve ever had. — 6 years ago

Weekly Wednesday Wine Committee lunch...always such a treat to attend. This week, Dan hosted. 1 sparkler, 3 whites, 4 reds and 1 dessert wine. All blind as usual.

What. A. Head scratcher! Wow. Never had a wine like this. Nobody in the room guessed the varietal. In the glass, it looked like an orange wine. Sherry like. Nose and palate were so cherry dominant...cherry sours candy, cherry tart, licorice and even orange rind. I called it Beaujolais. — 8 years ago

Bottled 2/15/17. Seems to be quite some variation in this spontaneously fermented beer. Significantly better than what I had recently on draft at the brewery. Well-rounded easy drinking sour that goes down well on a very hot afternoon. Doesn't have quite the complexity, intensity, and body of their other barrel aged sours. — 9 years ago

The 2019 Vintage of this CS is a great overall wine. Sweet notes with hints of cinnamon spice for the nose. Drinking invites a full fruit flavor tasteful sours and ending smooth with a revisit of the spices. Great by itself or with red meats and carbs from my experience. — 4 years ago

I love Belgian sours this time of year. This one features cherries, apple, oak, and vanilla. Drinks way to easy for the R-OH content. — 6 years ago
