WineDiva's Review

Structure, posture, lush.
A structured Similkameen Cab Franc offering aromas of black current leaf, purple flowers, vanilla and baking spices. The palate is lush with fruit and has good acid balance and posture. Good complexity and a warm finish trailing dark chocolate.

Recommended Pairings
Rich Meats , Barbeque, Good First Impressions, Cellar Keepers
