Narrative Cabernet Franc 2019

Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaThe 2019 CF (curious recent release to market) was sourced from vineyards stretching from Summerland to Osoyoos. This was native fermented and aged in concrete tanks for 11 months. Dusty red fruits, baked red currant, dried herbs, and suede lead the shorter palate, with furry tannins still quite present until a lightly smoked stone finish. This is feeling age, and I wish I could have tasted it in the vibrancy of youth.Tasted: 16 May 2025Tasted by: Prices:
