Fort Berens Cabernet Franc 2019
Lillooet, British Columbia, CanadaMedium-dark looks a bit like a new world pinot until you catch the nose. Lightly herbaceous, warm blueberries and black raspberries have a savoury dried herb underside. The texture is surprisingly supple with a youthful rustic edge that will disappear quickly. The fruit is mostly Lilloett estate grown, harvested late in the season at optimal ripeness. It was barrel aged for 15 months in a combination of seasoned French and American oak and then bottle aged for an additional six months before release. Anything mushroom works here.Tasted: 29 November 2021Tasted by: Prices:| BC | $28.99 | 750ml | winery online/direct, select private retailers, grocery |
