A classy pure Syrah cuvée from the Las Madres vineyard in Carneros, this wine evokes Bandol's best. Classic notes of strawberry and watermelon inflected by citrus zest and hints of dried flowers are followed by a glossy, textural palate with lovely stony minerality and a line of fresh acidity. Probably the best rosé yet from this up-and-coming label.
