Hester Creek Rosé Cabernet Franc 2017

Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaThis juicy rosé brings quenching pink grapefruit, strawberry, cranberry, and rhubarb to the snappy, glycerol-lined palate, seasoned with cinnamon and sweetened off-dry by the sun and a light bump of RS. A two-day cold soak and gentle pressing of this cabernet franc bled off the medium pink hue, while a cool ferment in stainless preserved the bright acidity in this medium bodied wine, lined with a bed of sunny glycerol. Impressed by the fresher, brighter direction that Hester Creek has been taking of late, with this rosé being a prime example.Tasted: 04 August 2018Tasted by: Treve RingPrices:
