Black Sage Vineyard Cabernet Franc 2015
Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaAnother solid wine and in such a warm year; kudos to the team who kept the fruit lively and in line. This fallow site was replanted in the early 1990s at N 49˚ 06.890’. With more than 20 years of age the vineyard is beginning to strut its stuff. Only 20 percent new oak has freed up the fruit to shine. Plenty of perfumed black fruit and sagebrush mark the nose and palate with some medium rough tannins still to shed. Mint lingers on the finish, which is a pleasant touch. A year or two in bottle is required before it shows its ultimate potential. Grilled lamb works for the moment.Tasted: 25 September 2017Tasted by: Anthony Gismondi and Treve RingPrices:| BC | $24.99 | 750ml | BCLS |
