Cassini Cellars 2014 Cabernet Franc (Golden Mile Bench) Okanagan Valley - BC
Availability: Direct from the winery here
Cost: $40 (including taxes)
Alcohol: 14.8%
Production: 295 cases
Date Tasted: December 17th, 2017
Tasting Notes: Given time to warm-up and breath in the glass, the nose of this Cabernet Franc will come to life and present a gorgeous, developing bouquet of wild blueberry and blackberry fruit, light eucalyptus-mint and cedar notes and a subtle perfume of violets and white blossoms. It tastes just as it smells with a touch of spice to accompany the elegant texture and silky-smooth tannins and bright, berry acidity.
Intensity and length doesn't quite match the outstanding 2013 vintage, but we're splitting hairs with Cabernet Franc of such high quality. Ready to go now and will hold for many years. Drink now-2021.
