Phantom Creek Estates Kobau Vineyard Cabernet Franc 2019

Golden Mile Bench, Oliver, Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaYear two of the Kobau Vineyard Cabernet Franc grown on the Golden Mile bench is a much better version than year one. It still has that south Okanagan version of garrigue, but it is much better integrated into a wine with more pure black plums, black cherries, and savoury sagebrush/dried herbs with a hint of chocolate leading the way. There is some dense young tannins yet to be dispersed, but this sleeper will keep through 2025.Tasted: 19 February 2022Tasted by: Anthony GismondiPrices:
