Liber Farm and Winery Let Me Be Franc 2020
Similkameen Valley, British Columbia, CanadaUnlike many of its peers, Let Me Be Franc is a savoury, dry, earthy version of this grape variety. The 2020 is well made, pitching dried red plums, earthy cedar, and desert scrub. Despite the tannins and an intriguing peppery/blueberry finish, there is a softness. This would benefit from some extra time in the bottle or decanter. Pour with mushrooms, barbecue pork, or beef tacos if you drink it now. The fruit comes off a gently sloping, older vine, organic, south Okanagan mountain slope adjacent to the US Border.Tasted: 01 September 2023Tasted by: Anthony GismondiPrices:BC | $23.00 | 750ml | winery direct, private wine shops |
