Sandhill Cabernet Franc Sandhill Estate Vineyard 2005

Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaSpicy, black cherry, peppery, tobacco, resin, barnyard, poultry spice, black olive and mocha vanilla aromas. Round, dry, elegant but slightly lean with light tannins. Cedar, orange peel, poultry spice, vanilla, tobacco, coffee, tobacco flavours with a cranberry, licorice, oak resin finish. A bit young but has good acidity to age 1-3 years. Good solid effort for this variety that in our opinion could be even better if the was less overt, sweet American oak in the blend.Tasted: 31 March 2008Tasted by: Stuart TobePrices:
