Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaThe colour is getting lighter and this rosé is getting better each year. An all cabernet franc pink may sound as if it could be a bit too much for the modern rosé lover but it all works. Its pink orange colour leads into a strawberry jam, watermelon scented nose that feigns sweetness but finishes just off-dry. It’s the underlying acidity that brings this wine to life. Chicken, salmon, light cheese all work here, just add sunshine and a patio.Tasted: 01 July 2015Tasted by: Prices:

Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaYour first introduction to this seventeen year old cabernet franc from Diamondback Vineyard on the Black Sage Bench is via the bright rosy peach hue. Red currant, herbal branch and strawberry jam notes carry through to the off dry palate, where candied strawberry, baked rhubarb, leaf, melon and peach join in. Tart cranberry acidity keeps it lifted, benefitting the heft of this direct press method. Pour with salmon or pasta salads this summer.Tasted: 21 June 2015Tasted by: Prices:
