2006 Rose de Franc

2007 Rose' de Franc

Think of this as a Cabernet Franc Lite. Excellent, dry, refreshing summer picnic wine. Your first reaction will be "what a beautiful, bright color!" Deep ruby hue with flavors of raspberry sorbet and red currant candies. Aromatic, with floral notes and a crisp, refreshing finish. Very limited supply.

Winemaker's notes

Harvested on Oct. 24th, the grapes were crushed, and allowed contact with the skins for about a day. The juice was then bled off and slowly fermented, completing fermentation in four weeks. The wine was aged in older French oak barrels for about five months, and livened by a small addition of Sauvignon Blanc before bottling. We recommend drinking this wine young, although after a year in bottle, the finish gains complexity.

Classic pairing is with summer fair such as Salad Niçoise or roasted vegetables, couscous and feta cheese
