Oliver, Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaThe 2020 Cabernet Franc reflects the quality vintage. The 90/10 cabernet franc/merlot, grown over sandy loam topsoil on a mostly granite glacial till opens with subtle blueberry and black plum. The attack is juicy with young black fruit, a desert dusting of sagebrush, and excellent acidity heightening its peppery finish. It spends 14 months in neutral 225L French wood before being bottled unfined and unfiltered. Gentle enough for chicken, and rich enough for lamb.Tasted: 06 August 2022Tasted by: Prices:

Oliver, Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaOff the Black Sage Bench, this cab franc is tipped with 10% merlot, affording a added plushness to the plump blueberry, ripe black plum, herbal blackberry palate. This spent 14 months in neutral 225L French wood and was bottled unfined and unfiltered, and that texture is welcome on the fleshy palate. Tannins are plush, though acidity is sharp, helping sharpen this to a peppery warming finish. Best taken alongside bigger grilled meats.Tasted: 15 August 2022Tasted by: Prices:
