Cabernet Franc is a true passion for Tinhorn Creek CEO and winemaker Sandra Oldfield and viticulturist Andrew Moon.
The 2011 version is engaging and very fragrant - juicy black raspberries and pepper, violets and smoked spices with tobacco notes. It is fresh and spicy with wonderful acidity that pops forward wild berry, raspberry and plum flavours, which are layered with cocoa and more spice.
Consistently good, but the 2011 is really delicious.
Recommended pairings: grilled sausages or grilled portobello mushrooms, burgers or rich tomato ragu pasta
