Blasted Church Cabernet Franc 2016
Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaThese grapes were hand harvested from the Ashe Vineyard in Osoyoos and the Suncrest Vineyard in Oliver, and underwent a five-day cold soak prior to fermentation. The skin contact lasted some 21 days before the wine was aged in a mix of 55/45 neutral French and American oak barrels for 18 months. Look for an open, expressive nose of earth and red berries with bits of sage and chocolate on this massive wine. The attack is soft and round with vanilla, black raspberry, cinnamon and dry crushed leaf notes. Shy, this most certainly is not, and boozy it certainly feels. Best with braised or grilled meats or any mushroom dish.Tasted: 18 September 2018Tasted by: Anthony Gismondi and Treve RingPrices:| BC | $0.00 | 750ml | winery direct; private wine shops |
