Tightrope Winery Cabernet Franc 2017

Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaRetasted six months down the road. It remains tight and somewhat tart with a leafy underside. It is just not singing. It is made with all Naramata grapes that spend 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. The attack is fresh, with red fruit reminiscent of cherries and plums that spill on the palate with earthy tobacco leaf flavours. Textures are silky, and the finish is fresh with more spice and red fruit. Best with flavourful barbecue beef short ribs.Tasted: 03 February 2020Tasted by: Prices:
