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:
