British Columbia, CanadaThe Reserve Cabernet Franc is a shining example of winemaker Erich Smith-Peter's style, and an intriguing bottle of wine. Texturally outstanding, with silky, dense tannins that melt away in the finish. The nose is a classic mix of capsicum, cedar, and red fruits that draw you into the glass. Dark red plums, spice and licorice round out the palate while the south Okanagan desert scrub adds a savoury component that lingers with the fruit. It is so well-balanced that you can drink it now or hold it through 2030 with no issues.Tasted: 19 January 2026Tasted by: Anthony GismondiPrices:
