Pentâge Cabernet Franc 2022
Skaha Bench, Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaPentâge Winery is a family-owned boutique winery situated on 35 acres overlooking Skaha Lake. The property features two estate vineyards: Vista Ridge and Dirty Dozen. The 2022 vintage stands out as an excellent representation of the winery's potential for producing wines with notable power and longevity. This youthful release displays bright acidity, complemented by black fruit and spice notes that linger through the finish. Aging for 15 months in French oak barrels (25% new) the oak remains balanced, allowing the wine's fruit and acidity to shine. While this wine can be enjoyed now, it promises to evolve gracefully through 2030. For those choosing to enjoy it in its youth, pairing with lamb is recommended.Tasted: 07 July 2025Tasted by: Anthony GismondiPrices:BC | $30.42 | 750ml | winery online/direct, select private retailers, restaurants |
