Time Cabernet Franc 2018
Oliver, Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaThe Time Cab Franc will surprise you from the moment you pour it into the bottle. The nose is aromatic and enticing with spicy, earthy black and red fruit. The textures are silky smooth, and the fruit purer with noticeably less caramel and oak. The fruit comes off the very warm Adega Vineyard in Osoyoos and the medium warm Halla Vineyard in Kaleden, across from the Skaha Bench. It is aged 6 months in French and American oak barrels, but it is less noticeable and much welcomed. Look for a peppery, earthy palate of black plums, blueberries, and savoury franc notes through the finish. Well made and should improve further as it ages.
