Keremeos, Similkameen Valley, British Columbia, CanadaThis is a riper expression of cabernet franc that doesn't sacrifice purity of fruit. It shows vivid black raspberry, dark plum, and macerated cherries with stemmy herbs, violets, and gravelly undertones. The tannins are firm and chalky but not over-extracted, balanced by the elevated fruit weight on the palate, with mouthwatering acidity to keep pulling you back to the glass. Genuine to variety and place.Tasted: 16 September 2024Tasted by: Prices:
