Tangy, salty, textural.
Having undergone a packaging makeover, Play Winery's labels are looking quite lighthearted these days. Located outside of Penticton on Skaha Hills Drive, the estate boasts outstanding views from the winery and bistro.
Grown on the Wild Horse Estate vineyard, it lwas maured in French oak for 16 months before bottling.
It leads with paprika, cedar, fleur de sel, red currents and cocoa atop beet greens and freshly turned earth aromas. It's a leaner Cab Franc with loads of wild herbs melded with tart red berry flavours. Expect notable acid here, slightly textural tannins and a bittersweet finish. It leans toward a Loire-style Franc.
