2005 Cabernet Franc Rose - North Coast Bottle

Magnitude is our way to separate out some of the wines which are produced in such limited quantities, we didn't want them to get lost in our larger production portfolio.  With our award winning, eye catching label design on our Terremoto Cellars' wines it was going to take a bold design to make Magnitude stand apart.  Bobbie Saunders' artwork has proven to be what we were looking for.  Her artwork currently adorns our 2005 Magnitude Cabernet Franc Rose - North Coast and the 2005 Magnitude Cabernet Franc - Saunders’ Vineyard - Oakville - Napa Valley and is slated to  grace several upcoming releases.

With a rich pink hue, intense tropical fruit aromas and a pleasantly tannic structure, this rose keeps you wanting more on those warm summer afternoons.  The rose is created in a style more reminiscent of European dry rose wines and not those typical sweet pink wines of California.

“Velvety and plush with polished tannins, a hint of herbal

complexity and ripe red berry fruit flavors, this mineral-laden

red is oh so sexy to sip.  Indulge yourself. “

“Deep ruby black color. Black raspberry, cocoa, peppery spice and mineral aromas follow through on a soft, supple entry to a dry-yet-fruity medium-to-full body with creamy nougat and custard accents Finishes with toasty toffeed fade with powdery tannins.“

Nice purity and style. (tasted on Aug-06-2008)
