Jackson-Triggs 2004 Cabernet Franc Rose

DescriptionDescription  As everyone knows Roses mean summer – and nothing says summer like this rose from Jackson-Triggs, it practically screams it from the glass. The first thing you’ll notice is the pretty dark salmon colour, due to the 24-hour skin contact. Next, there’s a fantastic nose that’s loaded with strawberry, cotton candy, chocolate cherries and candied-kiwi. This is followed up by a drier taste then what the nose has let on. There’s still noticeable strawberry, cherry and other red fruit, along with some citrus and a touch of fizz, but it finishes towards the dry side. This great, light tasting wine makes for a wonderful sipper on a beautiful warm day. Be warned though, this summer sipper won’t be around long, it’s already in fairly limited supply at the winery and at selected Wine Rack locations.
