Wine Details
Price:
$12.00 per bottle
Description:
With a rich pink hue, intense tropical fruit aromas and a pleasantly tannic structure, this rose keeps you wanting more on those warm summer afternoons. The rose is created in a style more reminiscent of European dry rose wines and not those typical sweet pink wines of California.

Varietal Definition
Cabernet Franc:
Cabernet Franc is an accessible, spicy, herbal, dark blue grape variety that is often compared to Cabernet Sauvignon. Cabernet Franc tends to be softer and has less tannin than Cabernet Sauvignon, although the two can be difficult to distinguish. Sometimes the French refer to Cabernets, which could mean either of the two grapes. Its typical aromas include an herbaceous and pronounced peppery nose, even in ripe fruit, and something eerily like tobacco. The Cabernet Franc ripens at an earlier stage, which gives it reason to exist in the Bordeaux area. In the Loire, where we find it a lot, it gives a clear red fresh and fruity wine.
