Narrative 2017 Cabernet Franc

Summerland, Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, Canada

Sometimes a wine can surprise you. Sourced from organic vineyards in Kaledon and Osoyoos, this wine from the folks at Haywire was fermented and aged in concrete tanks. Medium bodied and modestly complex, clean, crisp, smooth, with fine tannins, no oak, and flavours of black currant, plum, pepper, earth. Now at its peak, it has developed beautifully. Drink it slightly chilled.
