WineDiva's Review

A powerful Similkameen Cab Franc, which doles out aromas of black currents and vanilla, licorice, pipe tobacco, chocolate and dried purple flowers atop a savoury core. It is supple in texture, generous in weight, concentrated and spiced, with a lengthy and plush finish.
220 cases produced.
