Domaine Bastide Blanche Bandol Rouge 2018

The Bandol Rouge is a blend of 93% Mourvèdre and 7% Grenache. This is a hardy, yet polished wine with tar, woodsmoke,  plum, blackberry, licorice, and herbs. The palate follows with similar flavors of earthy garrigue, cassis and a slight bit of chewyness. More flavors of smoky black fruits, mulberry, plum, cedar box and the tell-tale peppery notes of Mourvedre.
