Fort Berens Cabernet Franc 2016
British Columbia, CanadaThe white label cabernet franc from Fort Berens is mostly Lillooet estate fruit topped up with 21 percent franc from the Similkameen. The complexity comes from blending two clones, 327 and 214, two vineyards, and ageing it in a mix of French and American oak. The nose is reduced upon opening under screw cap, so be sure to give it a swirl or two or 15 minutes of air in a decanter to let the fruit come through. The style is New World, soft and round with lower acidity and more mouth weight, the ripe fruit ending with a spicy finish. It’s ready to drink and would be best served with grilled meats.Tasted: 16 November 2018Tasted by: Prices:| BC | $24.99 | 750ml | vqa, private wine stores, winery direct |
