April 27, 2023 - Medium ruby with some garnet sneaking in. Low intensity aromas which don’t provide any distinct characteristics .
Dry, medium tannin, acidity and body with high alcohol.
Baking spice, a bit of leather and red cherry are the predominant flavours leading to a shortish finish.
All in all, a decent every day drinker . -

April 21, 2020 - As I misled my friend @Rob the Red Rider for displaying a picture of a bottle that was 3 years older than the one I was actually commenting on, I can confirm I took this picture.
Cabernet Franc does very well in the S. Okanagan and this is a representation of a decent mid-level offering at a decent price.
Nothing complex here and better drank early owing to the medium tannin and acidity. The nose is medium intensity strawberry and green pepper with some cinnamon thrown in. Overall good to very good.
