A delightful blushing salmon-copper rose that is reminiscent of those from the South of France.
Made from almost equal parts Cabernet Franc and Syrah, it is a sensationally fragrant wine that provides strawberries, kumquats and citrus blossoms on the nose. The palate has the perfect amount of sweetness to make the strawberries in cream, pink grapefruit and orange peel flavours pop and the perfect amount of acidity to make your mouth water in anticipation of the next sip. Enough punch and structure to hold up to some serious eats; salmon, white meats; Dungeness crab on a croissant, gourmet pizza - you name it!

Bright fruit - red cherries and plummy aromas with savoury herbs and earthy notes. Medium-bodied on the palate with juicy red fruit, spiced chocolate, tobacco and pepper. Great mouth-watering acidity that makes this a great food wine.
Pair with spicy chicken wings with blue cheese dip.

Bright fruit - red berry and mulberry aromas with vegetal hints, savoury/meaty notes and peppery spices. Good Cabernet Franc typicity with juicy red berries on the palate, fine chocolate/cocoa, spice and tobacco flavours. Medium-bodied with fine tannins that linger.

Tinhorn Creek's top selling Cabernet Franc is a great go-to red for a multitude of meaty meals...
Cherries and currents, smoky cocoa and faint spice. The palate is fresh, juicy and medium-bodied with flavours of roasted spice, dark chocolate/mocha and a toasty finish.

The best Tinhorn Creek Cabernet Franc I have tasted yet!
Aromas of juicy blueberry, red currents, violets and licorice with baking spice and oregano undertones. The palate follows suit - sweet fruit, licorice, flower waters and warm spice flavours. It has a very pleasing weight (not too heavy, not too light) with bright acidity to balance and powdery coffee tannins lingering across the finish.
Very good
Recommended pairings: grilled sausages or grilled portobello mushrooms, burgers or rich tomato ragu pasta
