Herder Cabernet Sauvignon Cabernet Franc 2005

Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaWhen you have 76 per cent cabernet sauvignon and 24 per cent cabernet franc in the same B.C. wine blend you are bound to get the spicy, savoury garrigue black sage and olive notes that mark our cran-cherry- flavoured, local reds. A big slab of beef would help this wine at the dinner table otherwise it needs three to five years of ageing and even then it's will always be dominated by minty green olive fruit.Tasted: 06 October 2007Tasted by: Anthony Gismondi and Stuart TobePrices:
