CedarCreek Estate Cabernet Franc 2019
Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaIt’s been twenty years since the first cabernet franc was grown at CedarCreek, but the winery has only recently produced a single variety. The grapes are grown in the south Okanagan, not all that far from the border. The wine is dense and firm, with a balanced mix of red and black fruit. 2019 was an impressive year up to September, but late rains and cool weather made picking tricking and selection even more crucial. The wine has all the plummy graphite notes you might expect, and round-ish tannins with a touch of heat and spice in the back end. A perfect steak wine for a rainy fall day. The final blend is 90/10 cabernet franc/merlot, all fermented in stainless steel and aged one year in French oak barriques.Tasted: 24 September 2021Tasted by: Prices:| BC | $29.99 | 750ml | winery online/direct |
