Bravo Campa 2016

Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaBravo Campa was crafted by Okanagan Crush Pad for Vino Volo wine bars (famously and thankfully found in airports around North America), and blended in conjunction with Vancouver's own Sally Campa, who oversees the chain's wine programming. Cabernet Franc from the Black Sage Bench's Saddle Ridge Vineyard, plus 10 percent Secrest Mountain gamay, comes through with dusky mulberry, wild blackberry and baked plum, all brightened by herbal thorns and housed with soft fine tannins. Native fermented in concrete tulips and aged in a concrete egg, this saw no fining or filtration, leaving the mouthfeel textural, as is winemaker Matt Dumayne's hallmark. The finish ends with a prickle of dried herbs, is best with a slight chill, and would suit a variety of foods from charcuterie to roasted veg.Tasted: 10 May 2018Tasted by: Treve RingPrices:
