Oliver, Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaBartier's '22 Franc is a mix of fruit from Cerqueira Vinyard (Black Sage Bench) and Blind Creek Vineyard (Similkameen), with minor additions of syrah and petit verdot. The colour, nose, and palate are rich and deep, with scents of black fruits, baking spices, and minerals. There is a modicum of light tannin that will dissipate over the next year, leaving a mostly warm, friendly, lush south Okanagan red you can confidently serve with grilled vegetables, pork, or beef.Tasted: 22 March 2025Tasted by: Prices:

Oliver, Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaFrom Oliver's Black Sage Terrace, and Cerqueira and Blind Creek vineyards, this cab franc is tipped with 8% syrah, and 1% petit verdot. After destemming and crushing, this was macerated and fermented in stainless over 26 days before aging 14 months in 225L neutral French barrels. Potent and compact blackberry, black cherry is imbued with smoked stone, and clad with sticky tannins, finishing with warming baking spice. This is a dense, ripe and fleshy Southern Okanagan version of cab franc (and friends) and best suited to the BBQ now.Tasted: 14 April 2025Tasted by: Prices:
