Has promise. There is a burnt (So2) character in the nose and mouth that I'm hoping will go away with air (oxidation). Will try again in a couple days. Screw cap

Looking just slightly off ruby red, this wine carries the full aroma and mouthfeel of a red. Rich strawberry on the nose is joined by an herbaceous quality that balances well. You can think of it as a fruit bomb - it’s certainly loaded with red fruit - but there is a green edge to it that brings a deeper dimension. Acidity is fabulous and the finish is lengthy. A Tannat/Cabernet Franc rosé? Here it is. It sells for $16 and 3573 cases were made.

Nose is stupendous. Spicebox & dark fruits, big on palate, almost oily, dried rose petals, textural.

Enjoyed this wine enough to purchase a few bottle for this summer! Good acidity, with nice flavors and aromas for this unusual blend.

Chemical@nise blows off after a few moments and you get a very nice rosè and very different. The Tannat makes the difference.

Smells great but tastes like grapefruit with the pith.
