This wine appeals immediately in the glass with its rose petal hue. The wine is 100% Cabernet Franc. The grapes were picked about 4 am, to arrive cool at the winery, and had about 12 hours skin contact before being pressed. This wine begins with aromas of strawberry, orange and mint. On the palate, there are flavours of watermelon and strawberry, lifted by a very tiny hint of residual sweetness. The lingering finish, however, is balanced to dryness. This is a superb rosé, whether with food or consumed on its own on the patio.
