tête bêche — 2023

ruby red, with hints of cherry, camphor & pepper

Ruby in color, Tête Bêche tastes of watermelon, cherry, and ripe strawberries. This cool climate Cabernet Franc is light, delicate and ethereal in nature. It’s airy, lean in style and best served chilled.

Notes of hibiscus tea and pomegranate fruit, cinnamon and clove with hints of green pepper.
