Phantom Creek Estates Cabernet Franc / Merlot 2017
Osoyoos, Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaI'm a fan of the cabernet franc/merlot blend, and this 68/32 mix illustrated why the cuvée is such a winner in the Okanagan. A selection of barrels for each variety was chosen from across the estate's vineyards on the east and west sides of the valley to create a bold, savoury red. The texture, grace, and red fruit from the merlot disappear into the boisterous, savoury, herbal, desert scrub notes of the cabernet franc. Long, fresh, and full of dark plummy fruit, this will age effortlessly through 2025 and beyond.Tasted: 23 October 2020Tasted by: Anthony GismondiPrices:| BC | $40.00 | 750ml | winery online/direct, restaurants, hotels |
