100% Cabernet Sauvignon. Perfumed floral, citrus, tart strawberry and sweet pepper aromas. Medium-bodied palate with strawberry, rhubarb and subtle spice notes. A touch off-dry (i.e. slightly sweet). Very good, balanced acids. Medium+ length finish. Tasted June/2015.

This is among the bolder styles of rose.

Medium deep strawberry red in colour, the nose offers a decidedly fruit-forward cornucopia of ripe strawberries, and that lanolin hint.

Palate follows through, with strong strawberries, tart cherry pits, with a creamy mouthfeel, and a slight herb medium+ length finish.

Not bracingly dry, this is a more fruity style than, say, Provence.

Nice apero wine, and has enough depth to stand up to light fare and acidic salads, or grilled salmon.
