Tag: Cabernet Franc

What are the characteristics of Cabernet Franc?

It is loved for aromas of violets, tobacco and green pepper and deep expressive flavours of tobacco, dark spice while maintaining supple tannins and dark berry flavours.

Evolve Pink Effervescence 🥂💗 Bright, playful, and Evolve Pink Effervescence 🥂💗
Bright, playful, and built for easy sipping.
This lively Okanagan sparkler bursts with strawberry, raspberry, and a hint of citrus, carried by fine, refreshing bubbles. Light on its feet, crisp on the finish, and made for the moment.
Think patio afternoons, brunch pours, and that first warm evening of the season.
Fresh. Fun. Effortless.
💗 Serve well chilled
🍓 Perfect with light apps, soft cheeses, or just good company

UNDICI drops May 1 🇮🇹🍷. Available at the @hestercr UNDICI drops May 1 🇮🇹🍷. Available at the @hestercreekwinery Wine Shop and online.

Hester Creek’s new Super Tuscan–inspired blend brings a confident Italian accent to the South Okanagan — and signals just how far BC red blends have come.

Named after Vineyard Eleven (an “11/10” site), this Sangiovese-driven wine delivers both structure and finesse.

Blend 🍇
61% Sangiovese, 19% Merlot, 16% Cabernet Sauvignon, 3% Petit Verdot, 1% Malbec

Alc. 13.7% | pH 3.70 | TA 6.7 | RS 0.3

Layered and composed 🍒✨
Aromas of cherry, cola, and cacao lead into a palate of Bing cherry, red fruit, tobacco, sagebrush, and vanilla. Medium-plus body with refined tannins and bright acidity keeps everything focused and food-friendly.

Polished, savoury, and built for the table.
94 Points

Pairing 🍝
Think osso buco, lasagna al forno, Tuscan roast pork, or hearty pasta dishes.

Highly limited — this one won’t sit around long.

@township7 Sauvignon Blanc 2025 🍋🌿 Blue Terrace Es @township7 Sauvignon Blanc 2025 🍋🌿
Blue Terrace Estate Vineyard, North Oliver

Crafted from estate fruit, this Sauvignon Blanc blends stainless-steel precision with a touch of barrel fermentation, adding subtle texture and a hint of tropical depth.

Alc. 13.9% | pH 3.41 | TA 6.3 | RS 2.7 | Vegan

Zesty and vibrant 🍋✨
Aromas of lime zest and tropical fruit lead into a bright palate of passion fruit and citrus. Crisp, clean, and lifted, with refreshing acidity and a polished finish.

A modern Okanagan Sauvignon Blanc with great energy.
91 Points

Pairing 🦐
Perfect with fresh oysters, grilled prawns, or goat cheese salad.

@township7 Pinot Gris 2025 🍐✨ Naramata Bench A th @township7 Pinot Gris 2025 🍐✨
Naramata Bench

A three-vineyard blend from Loveridge, Paisley, and the Estate vineyard, fermented entirely in stainless steel at cool temperatures to lock in freshness and aromatic lift.

Alc. 14.3% | pH 3.41 | TA 6.3 | RS 2.7 | Vegan

Bright, clean, and fruit-forward 🍑🍐
Pear, apricot, and honeysuckle lead, backed by a subtle wet-stone edge. The palate is smooth and vibrant with orchard fruit, crisp acidity, and a refreshing mineral finish.

Balanced, versatile, and very easy to like.
91 Points

Pairing 🐟
Try it with grilled steelhead, roast chicken, or a simple summer salad.

And if you’re heading into dessert wine territory…
👉 Gone Kooky has you covered 🍪✨
Think:
🥥 Coconut-Oat + fortified Gewürztraminer

@bluegrousewines Pinot Gris 2024 ($30.99) From es @bluegrousewines Pinot Gris 2024 ($30.99)

From estate, Enrico, and Saison Vineyards, this Pinot Gris is fermented in concrete and neutral French oak, with a touch of malolactic adding texture and roundness.

🍏🍋 Aromas: baked apple, Meyer lemon, subtle caramel
🍐 Palate: green apple, pear, honeydew, hint of butterscotch
⚖️ Style: creamy yet fresh, beautifully balanced
⛰️ Finish: clean, mineral, wet-stone edge

Bright acidity keeps everything lifted, while the texture adds real depth. Classic Vancouver Island precision with a richer twist.
