"With its dark orange-magenta hue, this hefty rosé is not for casual poolside sipping. Gutsy in feel, with layers of bergamot, blood orange, rooibos tea and dried herbs. Though this is tightly coiled and structured, allowing a year of bottle age will allow this to achieve peak harmony and integration. Distinctive and well-made. Mourvèdre and Cinsault. Drink now through 2030." -Wine Spectator

Chateaux Pradeaux Bandol Rose: “The Bandol Rose from Pradeaux is perhaps the most serious wine in this category. Robust, rich, and complex with an ability to age gracefully, this wine is based on Cinsault (50%) and Mourvèdre (50%), taking its slight orange tint from the latter cépage. The younger vines of the domaine (average age: 25 years) are utilized to produce a rare rosé with staying power and exceptional complexity.
