Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaNot your typical BC franc, this opens with a bright, fresh nose that leans more red fruit than black, with a savoury, spicy undercurrent. The palate continues the story with bright red, peppery fruit, lively acidity, polished tannins, and a clean, structured but silky finish. Definitely more Loire-style here, and done well. Just don't expect the richer Bordeaux, Napa, Bolgheri style. The fruit is an 89/11 blend of Okanagan Falls and Naramata Bench, aged 11 months in neutral French oak.Tasted: 25 September 2026Tasted by: Prices:
Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaTheir first Cabernet Franc since 2022, this edition's fruit comes 89% off their home Storm Haven Vineyard in Okanagan Falls, and 11% off Stony Orchard Farm (ex Turtle Rock Farms) in Naramata. Off a mix of sandy loam, granites, and quartz, and clones 214 and 332, this aged 11 months in neutral French oak. Pouring a dusky crimson hue, this medium bodied franc teems with scrubby Okanagan desert herbs, wild raspberry, cherry, and black plum, with bright herbaceous acidity, and downy tannins hugging the sides to a lingering stony finish. A very pure take on the grape, yet intrinsically central Okanagan.Tasted: 02 October 2026Tasted by: Prices:
