Nice dry Rose. This blend of Cab Franc, Cab Sauvingnon and Merlot from Virginia has notes of strawberries and ripe red cherries. Soft tannins and a nice mouth feel.
A flawed bottle may be affected by cork taint, heat (maderized), oxidation, or excessive sulfur. Additionally, some people consider wines tainted by Brettanomyces (Brett), a non-spore forming genus of yeast, a flaw although there is much controversy surrounding the subject.
