Township 7 Cabernet Franc 2016
Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaOkay, what’s going on at Township 7? This cabernet franc soars out of the glass with fragrant black fruit laced with dusty, savoury Okanagan spicing that folds into a minty, peppercorn finish. This is the kind of wine that can change your opinion of a winery that has been languishing in the middle of the pack, but now clearly is setting its vision much higher. Again, the key ingredient is the vintage 2016 and its extended growing season. All is in balance and there is softness and a feminine aspect to this wine that suggests more St. Emilion than Loire. It’s soft and friendly and stuffed with black currant and cocoa but never to the extreme. The tannins are round and mostly svelte in the mouth. A peppercorn steak would be my suggestion.Tasted: 23 December 2018Tasted by: Anthony GismondiPrices:| BC | $33.97 | 750ml | winery direct, private wine shops |
