Aromas of brine and ripe fruit arrive

Based on 80% Merlot and 20% Cabernet Franc raised in 40% new barrels (the balance is in second- and third-fill oak)

but it is especially delicious paired with roast pork

nicely saline finish

Bedrock Wine Co. 'Ode to Lulu' Rosé, California, USA 2023 Vaud Aromas of brine and ripeOde to Lulu is Bedrock's love letter to Lulu Peynaud of the great Bandol estate Domaine Tempier. A ros of old vine Mourvdre with Grenache and Syrah, picked early and whole cluster pressed to highlight aromatics and freshness while keeping the natural weight of old vine Mourvdre. Piquant pink grapefruit and stone fruit mingle with savory tarragon and wild herb pungency.
