Hester Creek Old Vine Cabernet Franc 2022

Golden Mile Bench, Oliver, Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaA second look six months down the road, and this wine is developing nicely. I appreciate cabernet franc that doesn't try too hard, and that's what you get here: a blend of florals, spice, and ripe red fruits with a hint of sourness for balance. The palate is juicy with bright plum, structured yet smooth tannins, and a warm, spicy finish. You can enjoy it now or cellar it through 2026. This wine blends Loire freshness with California richness for a well balanced mix.Tasted: 04 July 2025Tasted by: Prices:
