Blind Tasting Kit Wine 3
Tasting Notes
Dark inky purple in the glass. Complex and intense on the nose with aromas of wild blueberry, dark chocolate, licorice vanilla and clove. The palate is rich and lively with firm tannins and flavours of bitter chocolate, dried currants, black raspberry and sweet tobacco. The finish is long and taut with lingering acidity.

Enjoy on release with fatty red meats such as grilled tomahawk rib-steaks crusted with blue cheese. Decant to give the wine a chance to soften with air or cellar for the medium-term.
WINEMAKING NOTES
Sourced exclusively from our June’s Vineyard in the Creek Shores sub-appellation, our Cabernet Franc 2019 was harvested in late October after a late, but warm summer and dry fall. The grapes were in pristine condition so minimal sorting was necessary. After crushing and de-stemming the must and skins were moved to stainless steel fermenters where the primary fermentation took place over 3 weeks with pump-overs for colour and flavour extraction. After pressing, the wine was moved to French oak barrels of three different sizes with approximately 15% new for 15 months of further ageing and integration. The wine was gently fined and filtered prior to bottling in September 2021.
