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.

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. #BCWine #OkanaganWine #HesterCreek #SuperTuscan #RedBlend #Sangiovese #OliverBC #WineLovers #DrinkLocal #BCWineTrends #WinePairing #CanadianWine
