Bordertown Vineyards and Estate Winery 2014 Cabernet Franc - 85pts

Bordertown Vineyards and Estate Winery 2014 Cabernet Franc (Osoyoos) Okanagan Valley - BC 

Availability: Direct from the winery here
Cost: $24 (including taxes)
Alcohol: 14.5%

Date Tasted: January 26th, 2017

Tasting Notes: Dives into the deep end of the smoky-spicy pool with reckless abandon taking only the faintest aromas and flavours of dark fruit, mint and herbs with it as an insufficient life preserver, drowning in layers of wet tobacco, essence of pine cone, aimless spice, coffee grinds and charred oak. 
Finishes long and uber-spicy with impressive concentration but little in the way of balance. Drink now-2018.
