Summerland Bench, Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaThis unique red blend of cabernet franc (41%), pinot noir (38%), and merlot (21%) opens with smoky, woodsy aromas that dominate the initial impression. A reminder of the challenging vintage marked by a heat dome and wildfires. Yet, beneath this, tangy red berries like raspberry and red cherry emerge. Later, pinot's rose petals and franc’s herbal notes arise, layering with warm spices of nutmeg and cinnamon from 16 months of aging in neutral French oak. On the palate, it shows refreshing acidity and medium-low dusty tannins that lead to a slightly drying finish.Tasted: 03 November 2024Tasted by: HJ ChaPrices:
