Fairview Cellars Cabernet Franc 2005

Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaThe latest cab franc form madcap winemaker Bill Eggert is worth investigating. It begins ripe with spicy, orange peel aromas and plenty of ripe cassis and plum fruit and just a hint of savoury, dried leaves. Smooth round and easy sipping. What it lacks in complexity it more than makes up for in texture and finish. A fine effort and solid evidence that this varietal can be ripened in the south Okanagan.Tasted: 19 November 2007Tasted by: Anthony GismondiPrices:
