Monte Creek Living Land Series Cabernet Franc 2022

Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, Canada2022 was a good year in BC with generous crop sizes, too. This cab franc is a 90/10 mix of Osoyoos cabernet franc and merlot that pitches a vibrant, slightly acidic palate of cherries, brown spices, and savoury sagebrush notes (the garrigue of the south Okanagan). Plums, tobacco and tart black cherries fill an edgy palate with firm acidity and plenty of spice. The wine was barrel aged in French oak for 15 months but only just opened up. Best served with a T-Bone steak or a mushroom pie.Tasted: 06 July 2024Tasted by: Anthony GismondiPrices:
