Terravista En Terre Cabernet Franc 2022

Okanagan Falls, Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaEn Terre, meaning 'earthen' or 'of the earth,' is a project that has been five years in the making at Terravista. It is also the name of the home vineyard on the Naramata Bench. This project allows the new owners to expand their portfolios beyond their mostly white wine roots. The vines here are grown in Okanagan Falls on the Rock Oven Block of Storm Haven Vineyard. After weeks of skin contact, the fermented juice is racked off into barrels for 18 months. This is a cooler style, reminiscent of the Loire, pitching damp earth, smoked cherries, and red fruit that spills onto the dry and somewhat burly palate, with some sticky tannins to disperse. A solid first effort you can drink now with grilled vegetables or a mushroom pasta dish.Tasted: 23 August 2024Tasted by: Prices:
