Winemaker’s Notes:

Our 2008 Cabernet Franc Rosé shows intense pomegranate and strawberry notes. Medium-bodied with zingy acidity and subtle minerality, this wine will surprise your palate with a wonderful mix of raspberry, cherry, strawberry and citrus flavors.

The 2008 Vintage:

The 2008 growing season had a mind of its own. The vines starting blooming late, but ended up ripening early. Because of the compressed season, we had to work a little harder to tend our vines properly. Nonetheless, we were thrilled with the outcome. The 2008 vintage displays supple fruit flavors, perfectly balanced with crisp acidity.

~ Jean-François Pellet, Winemaker
