Synchromesh Cabernet Franc Turtle Rock Farms 2016

Naramata Bench, Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaFrom Naramata's Turtle Rock Farms Vineyard and its granitic gravels comes this herbal, fleshy cabernet franc from a barrel selection. This was whole cluster, seeing 80% new wood in 2016. Plumped with savoury red currant, black cherry, perfumed raspberry, and alluring red florals, this streams long a tight granitic base. Tannins are firm and tightly knit, and acidity is running on the early pick side, streaming this medium bodied wine to its spiced, herbal, mustard seed finish. Decant this still-youthful wine, or open well in advance; this grows with airtime.Tasted: 02 June 2020Tasted by: Treve RingPrices:
