British Columbia, CanadaA selection of the top barrels from the 2018 vintage, this Reserve Cabernet Franc shows a ripe, lush nose of macerated dark cherries balanced by judicious oak (25% new), and smoky spices, evocative of the growing season. Already evolved in the glass, and drying out on the finish, this is best enjoyed in the short term.Tasted: 01 October 2022Tasted by: Prices:

British Columbia, CanadaThe Reserve Cabernet Franc is a barrel selection after 17 months rest in French oak, wisely capped at 25 percent new oak. The south Okanagan fruit opens with a fragrant nose with earthy, leafy black plum, black cherry, cedar, cooler meaty notes, and a spicy/clove finish. At this point, it is rich enough to stand up to the likes of lamb chops, grilled sausages, or a favourite prime rib.Tasted: 11 August 2022Tasted by: Prices:

British Columbia, CanadaThis barrel selection came off two southern Okanagan vineyards, and spent 17 months in French Oak (25% new) before heading to bottle unfined and unfiltered. Deeply ripe cassis, black cherry is woven with cedar, roast meats, and tobacco, and bound by sinewy tannins, leading this chewy, full red to a warming smoked spiced finish. Not shy, this is one to crack into with roast beef or sausages.Tasted: 13 October 2022Tasted by: Prices:
