Winemaker Notes
Starting with a beautiful Cabernet Franc vineyard, just across Naramata Road from the winery, the fruit was given a 7-day cold soak followed by fermentation and skin contact for a total of 28 days. After 8 months oak maturation, it was blended with merlot from three prime Naramata Bench vineyards for a final split of 51% Merlot to 49% Cabernet Franc.
It is bottled under screw cap to ensure the integrity of freshness and flavour.
Food Pairing Notes
Wild mushroom pastas and rich tomato-based sauces.
