Rust Wine Co. Cabernet Franc 2017
Okanagan Falls, Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaThis is a big, wood-driven cabernet franc, that benefits from from Okanagan Falls' altitude and microclimate. This is taken from Lost Horn Vineyard's clay loam soils, and clone Davis 01, planted in 2002. This spent 13 months in French oak, 20 percent of which was new. Brooding and deep black cherry, plum, medicinal raspberry, tobacco fill the dense palate, ripe with sun-lit fruit, and spiced via toast oak. You can sense the inherent bright freshness of the fruit poking through here and there, but this is overwhelmed by the ripeness and wood at this point. Roasted beef or lamb requisite.Tasted: 18 July 2019Tasted by: Treve RingPrices:| BC | $25.00 | 750ml | winery direct |
