Maison Smith Montpetit Muse 2023

Cawston, Similkameen Valley, British Columbia, CanadaMuse is a cabernet franc / merlot blend focused on expressing its Similkameen Valley terroir. In this case, red fruits, floral undertones, and tobacco draw you into the glass, culminating in a long, smooth style. In this case, 12 months in 30% 2 year old French oak and 70% neutral French oak barrels were the vessels. It is bottled unfiltered and unfined. It was not quite up to last year, but it will fill the gap if you need something for drinking through 2028.Tasted: 24 February 2025Tasted by: Anthony GismondiPrices:
