Moraine Cabernet Franc 2020

Naramata Bench, Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaMoraine is all about the Naramata Bench. That's true not just for pinot noir and chardonnay, but also Bordeaux varieties like this cabernet franc. The slightly cooler climate gives this a striking expressiveness with juicy dark fruits that are heightened by menthol and floral aromatics. Plus, the oak is balanced and integrated, adding a spiciness that complements the fruit. Medium-bodied, this is fine-grained and supple, ready to drink now or enjoy over the next 4-5 years. Get excited for the 2020 reds from the Okanagan.Tasted: 04 August 2021Tasted by: Geoffrey Moss MWPrices:
