Burrowing Owl Cabernet Franc 2005

Oliver, Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaAlthough I'm not normally a big fan of cabernet franc, no one does it better in B.C. The nose is classic cedar and tobacco with bits of dried leaf, chocolate and cranberry. It's very supple on the palate with more spicy, cigar and cherry/chocolate notes. The finish is long, mouth filling and warm with fine fruit character and thankfully ripe tannins. Good now but will age. Tasted: 12 September 2007Tasted by: Anthony Gismondi and Stuart TobePrices:
