Fort Berens Cabernet Franc 2014

Lillooet, British Columbia, CanadaMostly Lillooet fruit with a topping of Okanagan grapes make up the source of this full-bodied, concentrated red, full of smoked branch, light hickory and brooding, mossy, dark berries. The attack is super ripe over earthy, roasted red pepper notes and tart black raspberry that linger. Wood notes are evident, though tannins are sanded smooth. Dense and a bit youthful and eager right now, but will settle with time in the bottle. Pour with roast beef now. A promising variety.Tasted: 10 November 2016Tasted by: Anthony Gismondi and Treve RingPrices:
