Salmon pink color. The aroma is a complex mixture of fresh red fruit. The wine is crisp on the entry but rounded in the mid palate with an explosion of red berry flavors on the finish. A delicate and dry rose’ to accompany you on hot summers days.

Aromatics of spice cloves & anise. Flavors of berry currant to full-bodied with well balanced tannins. This is a cab and a little jam. The wine has a weighty attack & is medium franc to be taken seriously as a stand-alone wine.
The wine is 100% cabernet franc that is fermented in open tops with punch-downs and aged for 24 months in french oak barrels. It has violet color with well-formed legs. The wine is dry and medium-light bodied with freshly balanced acidity and medium-light phenolics. It has elegant focused tobacco leaf and tea leaf with red fruit and a bit of black pepper.
