Fort Berens Cabernet Franc 2017
Lillooet, British Columbia, CanadaThe majority of fruit for this white label cabernet franc is from their Lillooet estate, with the remainder coming from Oliver. After ferment, this aged in a mix of American and French oak for 9 months, prior to another year in bottle before release. Wild black cherry, blackberry, cracked pepper and toasty spice fill the flush palate, one warming on the finish. Tannins are soft, gently hugging this plump wine. Best taken now, with beef stew or kabobs.Tasted: 03 December 2019Tasted by: Prices:BC | $27.99 | 750ml | vqa, private wine stores, winery direct |
