Nichol Vineyard Cabernet Franc 2013
Naramata Bench, Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaBranchy raspberry, light sappy resin and ample salts flow throughout this lightish, unfiltered cabernet franc. Wild black plum, black cherry, raspberry and dusty earth finishes with a gentle light smoke, broken stones and grippy tannins. The acidity has an easy crunchiness to it. Characterful, friendly, but with detail and interest, both of which will increase with time in the cellar. Beef please.Tasted: 17 December 2016Tasted by: Treve RingPrices:BC | $27.00 | 750ml | winery direct |
