Corcelettes Cabernet Franc 2021

Keremeos, Similkameen Valley, British Columbia, CanadaThis Similkameen version of Cabernet Franc is always big, but the Corcelettes team seems to pull back slightly to let some elegance into the picture. The texture is an improvement over last year, although by the time you get to the back end, the tannins are dense and drying at this early stage. This pre-release look would suggest there is no need to sell this anytime soon. This franc is akin to the Napa California style pitching spice, savoury dried herbs, green olives, espresso and black raspberry. A giant that will need some time to settle in. To each their own. If you must drink it, serve it with the big dishes, including lamb, game, truffles, and mushrooms.Tasted: 04 November 2023Tasted by: Anthony GismondiPrices:
