Tasting Notes
Bored with one-note, berry-rich Merlot? Tired of the predictability of heavy-tannin Cabernet Sauvignon? Unsure of the peppery-power of Syrah? Then reach for this Tinhorn Creek label the wine that helped put BC Cabernet Franc on the map.

A blissful nose of both sensual and pungent aromas of broody berries, plums, wild sage, cheese rind, Christmas cake, earthy herbs and meaty spices. Rich and satisfying on the smoky-fruit laden palate which lingers with spices and oak treatment flavours delightfully. Enjoy now or over the next 3-4 years with some further development possible. Drink now-2026.
