Fort Berens Cabernet Franc 2023
Lillooet, British Columbia, CanadaLillooet continues to show it has what it takes to make BC wines, as evidenced by its 2023 Franc. Year two of this label opens as a slightly cooler, fragrant, savoury black fruit version. The attack is a touch more herbal, with red berry dusted in earthy, savoury tones. Round, but again slimmer without the fatness we see in warmer versions of this grape, the oak is well managed, and the finish is long. It is a versatile wine for food, but my current pick would be lamb chops.Tasted: 05 November 2026Tasted by: Anthony GismondiPrices:| BC | $29.99 | 750ml | winery direct, private wine shops and grocery stores |
