TH Wines Cabernet Franc 2015

Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaTyler Harlton has been dialling back extraction and intervention on all his reds, and his efforts are paying off in this finessed southern Okanagan red from the hot 2015 vintage (this is still 14.5 percent). This is sourced from two vineyards, one in Osoyoos and one in Oliver. It's certainly ripe and plush, showing perfumed black plum with darts of violets, anise, blackberry on the sculpted palate. Tannins are sueded, and lined with pepper. Think of a ballerina: muscular poise. Mostly destemmed, this ticks away at ferment for a couple of weeks before being pressed into neutral French oak. A lovely foil for roasted lamb with rosemary, and will certainly cellar for the short term.Tasted: 25 September 2017Tasted by: Treve RingPrices:
