ROSE OF CABERNET
By Horseshoe Bend Vineyards
This is actually a red grape, Cabernet Franc, that we treat like a white grape. At first glance it looks like a White Zinfandel; it is not. The grape juice is allowed to sit on the skins for about a day to retain the pinkish/orange color that this wine exhibits, but color is the only thing this wine has in common with a White Zinfandel. It is a perfect summer drink that exhibits citrus and berry flavors and goes extremely well with fruit plates and light cheeses. You get the flavor of a red that finishes like a white.
When cooking with the Rose of Cabernet it is recommended to go on the lighter side of seasonings and dishes. A country ham or a light garlic chicken work well. Melon and strawberries and light cheeses like cheddar, munster, lumbard. Salads work well, especially those with vinaigrettes. If you are feeling adventurous try a rare filet seasoned with sea salt and fresh ground pepper only.
