Summerhill Pyramid Winery Organic Cabernet Franc 2018
Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaFrom Esther Vineyard in Kaleden, this cabernet franc was fermented in foudre and then aged in neutral barriques for 26 months. That time in barrel has made this soft and approachable out of the gates. It's an easy-drinking style of cabernet franc, especially in contrast to what you can find throughout the Valley, buoyed by a perception of sweetness to the palate. The time in barrel also gives a lifted quality to the aromatics, with softened cherry and blackberry fruit that's joined by toasted cedar. Solid, if a bit simple, it's best enjoyed in the short-term with a slight chill. Certified organic.Tasted: 07 May 2021Tasted by: Prices:
Summerhill Pyramid Winery Organic Cabernet Franc 2018
Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaOrganic cabernet franc grapes from Kaleden's Esther Vineyard and its silty glacial rock are the source for this wine, fermented in a 10,000L foudre. Post-ferment, it was racked into oak barrels for a 25 month rest (mix of new and neutral wood). Soft and plush, with evident and potent cedar wood seasoning the heady cassis, black cherry, pencil shavings. There's a smouldering camp smoke note throughout to the finish, all wrapped with soft, plush tannins. Needs an equally camp-smoked meet or veg dish to tame.Tasted: 25 May 2021Tasted by: Prices:
