If there's anyone who really carries a torch for Cabernet Franc, it's Tinhorn Creek alongside winemaker Sandra Oldfield and viticulturist Andrew Moon.
The 2010 offers mixed red and black currents, cocoa, savoury spices, dried herbs and sweet vanilla. The palate follows suit - it has a very pleasing weight and freshness in the mouth and flavours of currents, cocoa and spice mimic the nose. Consistently good.
Recommended pairings: grilled sausages or grilled portobello mushrooms, burgers or rich tomato ragu pasta
