This rosé is made from 70% cab franc and 30% pinot noir, and characteristics from both grapes come through nicely. Colour is medium-deep salmon with an orange hue. The aromas are of fresh raspberry and cherry, tart MacIntosh apple, orange peel, and white pepper, with slight touches of bell pepper/grass and earthiness. Repeats on the medium bodied palate, with the fruit coming across as both ripe and tart. There is a pinch of residual sugar, but the high acids balance it out, so it serves to fill out the mouthfeel and add viscosity. The finish is good length. Tasted Aug. 2016.
