Burrowing Owl Cabernet Franc 2007
Oliver, Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaThis wine was a knockout at the Canadian Wine Awards and that is always saying something given the numerous quality cab francs entered from Ontario. The BOV franc has a bit of that Cheval Blanc mineral thing under its ripe, rich, spicy, earthy, black fruit. Just a whiff of local sage pulls the entire wine together. It will keep a decade handily. In fact, in 2017 you might want to serve it with Cheval to see how they both hold up. Impressive as always.Tasted: 07 March 2010Tasted by: Anthony Gismondi and Stuart TobePrices:| BC | $33.00 | 750ml | winery direct |
