Loire, FranceMedium blush in hue, this is a traditional method fizz from 20-30 year old cabernet franc. You get a sense of the grape's alluring herbaceousness throughout, crossing raspberry, cherry, and rhubarb jam. Perky grapefruit acidity lifts to a snappy, dried cinnamon and salts finish. Great food pairing sparkling rosé, with enough weight to easily match proteins.Tasted: 28 May 2018Tasted by: Prices: BC 25.49 BCLS

Loire, FranceThis pale pink fizz from the Loire is traditional method cabernet franc from 20-30 year old vines. Crisp and dry, the grape's herbal bramble peeks through, though tight, racy acidity, subtle pink florals, pink grapefruit and a thin cushion of Bing cherry fruit carry this bright, nimble brut. A nice riff of salted herbs close off the tight finish. Pass the tuna belly or salmon sashimi.Tasted: 29 February 2016Tasted by: Prices: BC 25.49 BCLS
