Osoyoos, Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaFrom a neighbouring vineyard, this cabernet franc was harvested ripe before a stainless ferment, and 18 months rest in 50% new American and European oak. Dark earth and ripe dark blackberry is woven with earthy forest floor and tart acidity, framed with ample sticky / powdery tannins that close out the warming finish. An overworked style that is best suited to rustic stews.Tasted: 15 February 2026Tasted by: Prices:

Osoyoos, Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaThe Vasanti franc is grown on the warm Osoyoos East Bench, where ripening fruit has become easy over the last decade. It opens with enticing florals, mixed with cranberry and cherry, followed by a mix of earthy, leather, raspberry jam supported by dense tannins and a strong vanilla oak finish. I like the 13.7% level and 16 months ageing, but think less than 100% new oak would make for a better ending with a few less sticky tannins. Ready to drink.Tasted: 08 November 2025Tasted by: Prices:
