Black Sage Vineyard 2016 Cabernet Franc

Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, Canada

"Located at the northern tip of the Sonoran Desert, with scorching mid-summer temperatures, the rugged bench was thought to be good for little more than growing scrub and grazing cattle in the early 1900s." - Winery

From 20 year old vines on the Black Sage Bench in Oliver, BC, this wine is the product of an exemplary vintage. Floral and fruity with flavours of black fruit and spice. Full-bodied, well-balanced with firm tannins. Enjoy it with grilled meats, barbequed chicken, duck.
