Emplacement, Rosé of Cabernet Franc 2015, Yakima Valley, Washington

Tasting Note: Yakima rosé — who knew?

This cabernet franc rosé is elegant with a gentle character.

Pale-intensity salmon in color, this wine has a medium-intensity nose of red cherry, strawberry, orange citrus, blossom and lemon peel.

On the palate the dry, medium-intensity rosé delivers delicate red-fruit-and-citrus flavors that tickle your palate while being supported by medium acidity.

The wine has some welcome traces of midpalate complexity which is unusual for rosés in general.
