Narrative Cabernet Franc 2018

Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaNarrative is made to tell the story of the Okanagan and its unique climate, home to both an arid desert landscape, cold, snowy winters, and an intense, short, growing season. The cabernet franc grapes come from organic vineyards in Kaleden and Osoyoos. They are fermented and aged in concrete tanks for ten months. Flavours of juicy, winey red fruit with a spicy leafy undercurrent show more Loire or Ontario style than Bordeaux or Bolgheri. The tannins are supple, and the finish is tart and peppery. This one is made for pork belly.Tasted: 23 February 2022Tasted by: Prices:
