Upper Bench Cabernet Franc Estate Grown 2014
Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaNaramata may not be cabernet sauvignon country but cabernet franc is another story. The new normal is warmer weather in the Okanagan valley and that helps most reds. The attack is fresh with bright acidity and some of those characteristic leafy, resiny, red fruit aromas and flavours. Look for bits of cedar, red licorice, plums and just a whiff of milk chocolate and spice. The finish is medium long with more of the same and a fresh tart finish. This should further improve over the next three years in bottle. The winery suggests you can serve it now with a creamy, Upper Bench cheese such as King Cole.Tasted: 21 March 2017Tasted by: Anthony GismondiPrices:BC | $26.50 | 750ml | winery direct, VQA stores, private liquor stores |
