Hester Creek Rosé Cabernet Franc 2016
Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaAn improvement over last year, the 2016 brings cool strawberries and cream, kisses of rhubarb and bright cherry to this cabernet franc rosé. Off-dry, but with a swell of acidity to lift, this was cold soaked for two days prior to a gentle pressing and cool ferment. Strawberry jam, ripe pear and fine cinnamon dust finish off the snappy finish. Best chilled to cover up the heat on the finish (nearly 14 percent), and best enjoyed this summer.Tasted: 25 April 2017Tasted by: Treve RingPrices:BC | $19.95 | 750ml | winery direct |
