Little Farm Winery Pied de Cuve Cabernet Franc 2016
Similkameen Valley, British Columbia, CanadaThis is the first red wine in the Pied de Cuve (natural) line for Similkameen's Little Farm Winery. They've used the cabernet franc grapes from Blind Creek Vineyard before, in their quaffable Rosé. 2016 provided the ideal conditions for them to use some of the fruit in this natural red. Grapes were foot trodden and left on the skins for a native ferment for a couple of weeks before gentle pressing into stainless, where it remained for the following year. Dusky plum in hue (unfined and unfiltered) and earthy flavour (in the Loire way), this is full of dried herbs, pointed balsamic, wild flowers, and pink peppercorn. Acidity is crunchy and tannins are feathery but firm, tightening this 11.5 degree frame. Best chilled and enjoyed in youth with grilled sausage or charcuterie. 60 cases made.Tasted: 10 May 2018Tasted by: Treve RingPrices:| BC | $31.00 | 750ml | private wine stores |
