CedarCreek Amphora Wine Project Desert Ridge Cabernet Franc 2016

Osoyoos, Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaThis is the antithesis of the MHFE Terroir Series but as different as it is they are equals in many ways. Near to Vista Edge, this special bottling comes off Desert Ridge, another Osoyoos vineyard. The fruit is naturally fermented in clay without sulphur and is unfiltered. The nose is fragrant with rich floral undertones and bits of roasted tomato, black fruits, wild blueberry, over a super soft, supple palate. Easy to drink now, the question is will it age? Only time will tell, but it should be fine through 2021. I think Treve got it right when she described it as “full-bodied, but light-footed.”Tasted: 24 September 2018Tasted by: Prices:
