2011 Cabernet Franc Rosé
The 2011 growing season offered up a great vintage for both red and white wines, and our bold style of rosé benefited as well. All the rhubarb, strawberry, and vanilla aromas that you've come to expect, with a rich mouthfeel that can only be described as sexy. The grapes for this rosé came from a designated section of our Cabernet Franc block. The grapes were hand picked and gently crushed, followed by short skin contact to create our intensely-colored and fruit-forward signature style.
