This elegant and full bodied wine has distinct blackberry and black pepper aromas, characteristic for Cabernet Franc grapes. It is an excellent match with grilled steak or a pork roast.

Updated Spring 2021:
Enjoy notes of dark fruit, cigar box, and a hint of vanilla. This medium-full bodied wine is very well aged with a velvety mouthfeel.

Tasting notes at the time of release:
The 2012 vintage reminds us of dark fruits, like blackberries and black currants, with savory fresh rosemary and sun-warmed blueberries. Enjoy it with slow-cooked pork, foraged sautéed mushrooms, or on its own.

The 2013 vintage is made primarily with grapes from our Lillooet vineyard. Deep ruby in colour with aromas of coconut, campfire, and peppercorn; full-bodied and good tannins make for excellent cellaring or easy decanting to enjoy tonight. Enjoy this Cabernet Franc and its long, juicy finish – especially with stews and grilled meats.

Updated Spring 2021:
This is a lighter style Cabernet Franc. It is very red berry driven, especially raspberry, and lots of tannin present. There is good potential for further ageing.

Tasting notes at the time of release:
Our 2014 Cabernet Franc is made primarily with grapes from our Lillooet vineyard. It has aromas of blackberry, black currant and blueberry, with roasted red pepper notes on the finish. Serve this tonight with a steak or pasta with a tangy tomato sauce or cellar it until 2020.

Updated Spring 2021:
There is lots of oak still present. It is medium-bodied with notes of chocolate, mocha, and some dark fruit.

Tasting notes at the time of release:
Made primarily with grapes from our estate vineyard in Lillooet, our Cabernet Franc is a full-bodied wine with rich, intense fruit flavours. The beautiful, deep red colour with concentrated flavours of cherries, raspberries and black currants makes this wine a perfect match with a rich tomato pasta dish. It is ready to drink now or it will age beautifully for many years.

Updated Spring 2021:
Savour notes from the red fruit spectrum in this light to medium-bodied wine. Decant this vintage for an hour or two before drinking.
