My dad bought and left this in my apartment. Braved opening it for a steak night, as I am weary to open reds when it is just me drinking because I don’t want to waste any. Safe to say this did not get wasted. I was unfamiliar with Bandols, and this made me a fan. It was everything I love in a red. It was a darker, more structured and intense wine. Dark fruit, but not fruit forward as it had some herbal and earthy notes. Is it gross to say it was almost meaty? Tannins were present but not overbearing. I was raised on big wines and this checked that box. This was perfect with steaks and just great with food overall. Thanks France. — 2 months ago

Only moderately aromatic, barely present dried strawberry and kind of generic cherry aroma. Palate shows this is very well made, with good structure, but also strongly acidic and tannic. May just be shut down and will blossom with time, not sure. — 4 years ago

Just love this wine, great value, can’t get enough! Belle Pente (bell-pont') means "beautiful slope" - for their 70 acre hillside vineyard & winery site in Willamette Valley. Bright Ruby red with aromas of red fruits, herb spices and hints of blossom notes. On the palate strawberry and cherry flavors, slight sweet undertones, herb notes and smooth tannins. Well balanced on a long finish ending with mineral herb notes. Nice!! Great value. — 6 years ago

Pale lemon color with aromas of ripe fruits, citrus, nutty and flinty scents, small harvest, aged in 10% new French oak. On the palate flavors of apple, peach and orange citrus, cinnamon notes, well balanced with acidity. Medium+ finish ending with nutty toasty spice, mineral, biscuit and citrus notes. Great now, will still age for next 5 years. — 3 months ago

A producer to know! Super rare showing rich dark berry fruit, baking spices, earth, violets that stood up to the competition & kept building in the glass. Would love to try this with another 5 yrs of age — 8 months ago

When opened it had strong, off smells and was nearly undrinkable. It took hours to turn into a beautiful wine, and the next day was lush in fruit dimension and sharp with acidity. Whew, patience. — 7 years ago
