WineDiva's Review

Fresh, smooth, savoury.
The 2021 vintage is made from Cab Franc grapes grown on the Fort Berens estate in the new sub-GI of Lillooet, and blended with others from the Okanagan. Sweet cherry and red currant aromas are underscored by leather, dark chocolate, salted licorice, tobacco and vanilla. It's earthy with fresh red fruit flavours alongside savoury toasted spice, espresso and charred tobacco. It's smooth, has notable freshness and tannic grip on the finish.


Pairs great with Gone Crackers Blue Cheese & Cracked Pepper
 
 
Recommended Pairings
Rich Meats , Cheese - Blue, French Food, GONE CRACKERS
