Mission Hill Terroir Collection Vista's Edge Cabernet Franc 2018
Oliver, Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, Canada2018 is a coolish year, slightly warmer than 2016, but less crop. Wildfire smoke was an issue and will likely find its way into many BC reds. I noted very little in this wine, but it was made unaltered. Interestingly, winemaker Darry Brooker prefers to make the wine as normal and deal with the smoke if it becomes an issue at the end of winemaking. Presumably, it would be blended off if the smoke was too prominent. As it turns out, it's not a big deal in this delicious bottle that is long on fresh blueberry and dark plum, wrapped in dense, silky, round tannins that add to its finish and charm. Buy and hold; it is going to be something special. It is cabernet franc, clone 214, grown in Oliver BC.Tasted: 19 September 2020Tasted by: Prices:| BC | $50.00 | 750ml | out of stock |
