KYSELA PERE ET FILS, LTD.

"(55% mourvedre, 35% cinsault and 10% grenache): Bright orange. Energetic red berry, blood orange and floral aromas, with dusty mineral and herb notes adding complexity. Fleshy and broad on the palate, offering concentrated raspberry and spicecake flavors and a bracing citrus pith quality that gains strength with air. Clings with very good tenacity and focus on the finish, the red fruit and mineral notes repeating."

"Bright orange-pink. Lively, mineral-tinged aromas of fresh red berries, orange peel and honeysuckle, with a hint of anise building in the glass. Dry and nervy in the mouth, offering vibrant strawberry and orange pith flavors and a suggestion of rose pastille. The floral element comes back on the finish, which lingers with very good spicy persistence."

Go To Patton Valley Pinot Noir Rose Willamette Valley

"The Thomas family farms 40 acres, blending this sauvignon from three different soils. It’s heady with soft scents of flowers, then brash with sharp points of citrus acidity. Air brings those elements together in a tight, formal white wine that finishes clean and juicy. For roast fish."

Go To Mas Redonne Bandol Rose

"This is a grassy, herbal wine with green and crisp citrus fruits. It is of course very young and its exuberant fruitiness will be better when it all calms down. The acidity and hint of apricots give the promise of a richer fuller future. Drink from 2017."

Go To Mas Redonne Bandol Rose

"Grown, picked and vinified deliberately for rosé, this low alcohol, pale copper wine rewards your attention. Though neither forward nor fruity, it's loaded with lovely details. It starts with aromatic notes of rose petals, lemon zest and white pepper. Then, it fills in the palate with juicy light berry flavors. The length and detail are impressive. - PAUL GREGUTT"

- Wine Enthusiast (August 2018), 90 pts

"Light lurid red. Fresh, energetic and incisive on the highly perfumed, spice- and mineral-accented nose. In a nervy, graceful style, offering gently sweet raspberry and floral pastille flavors that show very good concentration yet no obvious weight. Silky tannins sneak in late on the clinging finish, which leaves hints of white pepper and red fruit preserves behind. This graceful, entry-level Pinot delivers outstanding value. (aged for 10 months in 10% new French oak). - Josh Raynolds"

"Deep red. Cherry, black raspberry and floral aromas are complemented by suggestions of musky earth and black tea. Chewy and focused on entry, offering bitter cherry and dark berry flavors that deepen and become sweeter with air. Shows solid closing punch, repeating florality and a hint of smokiness on a long, gently tannic finish. Aged in 8% new oak. - Josh Raynolds"
- Antonio Galloni's Vinous (August 2020), 90 pts

"This affordably priced wine seems to have been given extra careful hands-on treatment, with native yeast, basket pressing and all estate-grown fruit. A bright burst of raspberry fruit comes with a dash of pepper, and adds on more fruit flavors of plum and blackberry. A pretty floral component enhances both the aroma and the finish. - PAUL GREGUTT"

"Light pink. Touches of herbs and earth complement red berry and cranberry fruit in this Mouvèdre based Bandol rosé. It’s soft on the attack and broad on the palate and unlike some Bandol rosés it’s ready to drink now. 55% Mourvèdre, 35% Cinsault and 10% Grenache; founded in 1979, this Domaine and its 12 ha vineyard of 40 year old vines is run by Henri and Geneviève Tournier.- Don Winkler"
