Hillside Merlot - Cabernet Franc 2012

Naramata Bench, Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaA slightly richer version of the very good 2011 with a lifted cran/cherry, earthy nose with hints of coffee. The palate is slightly richer with some bigger tannins this year at the back end. More cherry, coffee, resin tobacco, savoury, olive flavours. Give this another year in bottle to settle in or serve now with grilled steak and chimichurri sauce.Tasted: 24 December 2015Tasted by: Anthony GismondiPrices:
