Hillside Heritage Series Cabernet Franc 2021

Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaThe Hillside Heritage Series Franc is a red fruited style with softer St. Emilion styling, thanks to its lake bottom lacustrine, fine clay soils. Look for juicy cherries, black raspberries, and plenty of acidity to keep it lively from front to back, before a final dusting of tannins to finish off the picture. The fruit comes from Cinwick Vineyard and Occhi Dolci Vineyard, both below the Naramata Road, growing on the aforementioned heavier lacustrine soils. I like this label with mushroom dishes through the fall and winter, but you can drink or hold this red, as there is no rush. It's a good value, too.Tasted: 31 October 2026Tasted by: Anthony GismondiPrices:
