Monte Creek Cabernet Franc Ancient Waters Series 2022
British Columbia, CanadaI have said it before and will repeat it: Monte Creek will surprise many unfamiliar with the winery's vibrant, bright fruit style. In this case, the Ancient Waters Series Cab Franc is an excellent example of a lively red fruited franc with a tension and freshness that has your palate salivating after each sip. The nose is a red currant, clove, and licorice affair while the palate is more raspberry, plum, and white pepper. It's young and the finish is dry, but this wine has some polish and will be a winner in three to five years.Tasted: 07 June 2025Tasted by: Anthony GismondiPrices:BC | $49.99 | 750ml | winery online/direct, select private retailers |
