Lock and Worth Square One Cabernet Franc V.6 2017
Naramata Bench, Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaV.6 indicates the sixth version of this Naramata Bench cabernet franc, planted in 1995 on clay soils. After a native ferment, this spends close to 18 months in neutral French oak before bottling unfined and unfiltered. A slight reductive opening leads into gently smoked cassis, twine, black raspberry, dotted with mustard seed and dried blueberries. This benefits from opening in advance, and a slight chill.Tasted: 31 July 2019Tasted by: Treve RingPrices:BC | $33.00 | 750ml | winery direct, private wine shops |
