Maison Smith Montpetit Cabernet Franc 2023
British Columbia, CanadaThis cabernet franc is a shining example of the winemaker Erich Smith-Peter's talent. Look for a mix of lifted dark red plums and licorice, with a meaty, spicy mid-palate sprinkled with dark baking chocolate, all aged 12 months in new (30%), second year (30%), and neutral (40%) French oak before being bottled unfiltered and unfined. The scent of desert brush that wafts about the region on warm, windy days adds a savoury underside that contributes to the complexity of this wine as it ages.Tasted: 24 February 2025Tasted by: Anthony GismondiPrices:| BC | $39.99 | 750ml | winery online/direct, select private retailers |
