Tightrope Winery Cabernet Franc 2017

Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaMid-valley, Naramata grapes are at the core of this franc that spends three weeks on its skins before heading to barrel. This wine is aged in mostly French oak barrels for 12 months (50% new) with a small amount of American oak. Look for a fresh, bright, lively, red fruit nose reminiscent of cherries and plums that spill on the palate with flecks of vanilla, spice and tobacco. Textures are silky, and the finish is fresh with more spice and red fruit. The winery suggests barbeque beef short ribs or grilled veggie burger with asiago cheese.Tasted: 27 June 2019Tasted by: Prices:
