15^¾/20

Golden Mile Bench, Oliver, Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaFrom a super warm growing season, this franc is ripe and ready to drink after spending some 12-16 months in wood, 25 percent American with 75 percent French. Block 3 is 50 years old, a factor in controlling the fruit in such a hot year. The nose and palate are mix of leaf, mocha, soft black raspberries and some spicy, savoury, oaky, tobacco, coffee notes in the finish. The winery suggests you serve it with Moroccan duck breast or a classic Provence bouillabaisse and I say, why not?Tasted: 24 September 2018Tasted by: Prices:
