Pentâge Cabernet Franc 2005

Skaha Bench, Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaSpicy, weedy, tobacco, leesy, peppery, barnyard nose. Dry, round, slightly tannic entry with a warm edge. Cranberry, coffee, mocha, peppery, tobacco leaf, black olive, soapy, resin flavours. Warm, oaky, tart finish with some tannins poking through. This will improve in the bottle over the next two years but it really needs more fruit to balance the other components.Tasted: 03 May 2008Tasted by: Anthony Gismondi and Stuart TobePrices:
