2008 WINEWORKS ROSE' (Cabernet Franc) $14
A dry Rose' created from Cabernet Franc grapes. The grapes were crushed and soaked overnight on the skins prior to pressing. This is a classic dry rose' with great color and fresh acidity with hints of strawberry and cherries. This wine is refreshing on hot summer days.
2008 WINEWORKS RED (65% Cabernet Sauvignon/ 35% Cabernet Franc) $14
Made in a softer more approachable style, this is a wine that expresses the fresh red fruits that are associated with these classic Bordeaux varietals. The Wineworks Red blend was fermented on the skins for just 10 days to extract great color, but not any aggressive tannins. Aged in stainless steel and older oak barrels, this wine is soft with bold fruit notes and good length. Our philosophy is to make a red wine that will pair nicely with everyday meals, while still maintaining varietal character and nuance.
