Frind Estate Midnight 2022
Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaMade with Marechal Foch grapes harvested from the Home Block Vineyard in West Kelowna. Foch is cold-hardy, which may sound more attractive this year, but the wine style is mostly disappointing. There’s a smoky dark fruit nose, previewing light earthy, bitter, smoky notes with bright acidity, and a short palate. It is aged in 30% French and 70% American oak barrels for 9 months.Tasted: 20 December 2023Tasted by: Anthony GismondiPrices:BC | $27.99 | 750ml | winery online/direct, select private retailers |
