SkinFlint Dry Rose

SkinFlint was conceived in the French tradition as a byproduct of our Bordeaux-style red blend, “Miser Meritage.” Twenty percent of the juice from our red grapes (2/3rds Cabernet Sauvignon, 1/3rd Cabernet Franc) was "bled off" to make this lush, ripe juice. For some fresh energy, we blended in 8% Sauvignon Musqué to enhance its aromatic freshness.

One is at first struck by berry-like perfume of its ripe Cab Sauv component, but after half a glass, the Cab Franc’s herbal elements and minerality assert its true function as a versatile food wine. This wine has incredibly broad appeal as it goes with everything and has “come hither” aromatics, rich fruit and great balance. Even white Zin drinkers will love it!
