Yum! I love the rose season. This is a clean, crisp rose... I would drink it anytime from April thru September. It reminds us of our trip thru the Loire Valley.

A light, bronze-ish color. Tart fruit and vegetal nose. Some raspberry and cherry, followed by a streak of green, finishing with some heat and acidity. An interesting Rose version of the same Cab Franc red.

Watermelon color. Shows its Cab Franc roots on both the nose and the palate. Green vegetal tastes mixed with watermelon juice and some funk. Something different, something good.

Great rose to put in a HW bottle and get drunk at the movies on.
