Tightrope Winery Cabernet Franc Thomas Vineyard 2020
Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaThe 2020 is surprisingly fresh considering the warm vintage, but it demonstrates the versatility of Naramata. It would also be hard to guess that half of this wine was aged in new French oak. Look for bright red fruits led by cherries, cranberries, and pomegranates with bits of tobacco and spice. The mid-palate is lean with rich tannins that will need some time to disperse. The grapes are all grown sustainably on the Thomas Vineyard at Tightrope Estate. The style is more Euro, with crunchy, red fruits and savoury leafy aromatics. Drink or hold with food, but there is no rush.Tasted: 11 October 2023Tasted by: Anthony GismondiPrices:| BC | $35.00 | 750ml | winery online/direct, select private retailers |
