This brilliant 2010 Bandol Rose competes with this appellation's superstar rose from the Domaine Tempier (which sells for $35 or more a bottle). A special cuvee made for the American importer, it is a blend of 70% Mourvedre, 20% Cinsault and 10% Grenache. A stunning perfume of strawberries, crushed rocks, spring flowers, plums and a hint of blueberries is followed by a fresh, medium to full-bodied, dry, expressive, fruit-charged rose. It is a beautiful example of what Bandol can do so well. Enjoy it over the next 1-2 years. Importer: Peter Weygandt, Weygandt-Metzler, Unionville, PA; tel. (610) 486-0800
