2021 Triomphe Cabernet Franc Rosé
A medium-pink wine that has a delightful and summery nose of strawberries, cherry, apples, and fresh citrus. On the palate: more apple, sour cherry, dried herbs, and a fresh acidity leads to a medium-long finish with a cleansing freshness. Enjoy with light summer fare – salads, grilled fish, and poultry. 92 pts - Rick VanSickle

Winemaker Notes
Grapes were harvested and loaded directly into the press. Cold juice settling and racking was followed by inoculation with non-aroma enhancing organic yeast and a cool fermentation that spanned four weeks. Fermentation was halted early to leave a slight residual sugar to balance acidity and alcohol. Bentonite clay fining was used prior to sterile filtration and bottling.
