Hillside Heritage Series Cabernet Franc 2020
Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaThe Hillside Heritage Series Franc is a classy take on this variety that takes me toward St. Emilion thanks to the fine clay in its lake bottom lacustrine soils. Elegance and subtlety are missing in many cabinet French examples, but they are on display here along with juicy cherries and black raspberries. The acidity and tension provide a valuable foil to the final dusting of tannins. The fruit comes off Cinwick Vineyard below the Naramata Road, on the aforementioned heavier lacustrine soils. I like this with a mushroom risotto or a pappardelle dish. Drink or hold, there is no rush. Fine value too.Tasted: 21 April 2025Tasted by: Anthony GismondiPrices:| BC | $34.00 | 750ml | wine club member exclusive |
