Narrative Red Cabernet Franc Merlot by Okanagan Crush Pad 2016

Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaOCP's Narrative line of wines are meant to be a clean, pure look at the Okanagan, for an affordable price. For the moment, the soft blackberry, plum fruit nose has a generous swing of reduction. The blend, cabernet franc and merlot, offers up sweet black plums, cured meats, potent tar and a touch of resin housed with softly grippy, supple tannins. It finishes with almost sweet fruit mix with peppery black spices. Easy drinking and ready to crack this summer. Splash decant to scare off the reduction and serve with grilled meats.Tasted: 28 July 2017Tasted by: Treve Ring & Anthony GismondiPrices:
