Natalie's Score: 92/100

Hester Creek farms on one of the Okanagan's oldest continuously planted vineyard sites, going back to the 1960s. Watermelon and orange zest come through first, a bright, saline snap not far behind. Crisp and easy, with a surprisingly long finish for a rosé this pale. Serve it with cured meats or a plate of aged cheese.

Cabernet Franc Rosé food pairings: Cured meats, medium to strong cheeses.

Harmonious Hard Cheese Wine
