Vineyard Notes
This blend of Cabernet Franc and Vidal Blanc was produced from grapes grown during the incredible 2001 vintage. A long, dry summer evolved into a long, dry autumn that is ideal for harvest. Due to the phenomenal weather conditions, the grapes were picked according to their optimum levels of Brix and pH, not when Mother Nature required, which is so often the case.

Cellar Notes
This Blush is the result of a harmonious blend between Cabernet Franc and Late Harvest Vidal Blanc. The Cabernet Franc brings structure and color to the wine, while the concentrated Vidal Blanc adds to the sweet and colorful nose and palate. The grassy nose and strawberry finish give the wine a nice balance of fruit and sweetness.
