    Bordeaux Rosé

    Very attractive pale pink color with strawberry-tinged appearance. The predominantly Cabernets blend balances extremely well with the lovely aromatic freshness of the red berry fruits (strawberries and red currants); and good structure, with the finesse and fleshy character of the Merlot. Very well balanced and fresh, the wine culminates in a very aromatic and lingering finish. Excellent as an aperitif or with white meats and fish.

    A blend of Cabernet Franc and Merlot, this pale pink rosé has a bouquet of flowers and summer berries with flavors of strawberry and citrus.
