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.

@vasantiwines Syrah 2021๐Ÿท๐Ÿ‡จ๐Ÿ‡ฆ The inaugura @vasantiwines Syrah 2021๐Ÿท๐Ÿ‡จ๐Ÿ‡ฆ The inaugural release of the single vineyard Syrah from the โ€œHeatdomeโ€ vintage. Planted in the most southerly site, this wine was drenched in the sun for the growing season, so the fruit was ripened entirely. This led to leaving the wine to mature in oak for 33 months, all in new American Oak barrels. The alcohol is off the charts at 15.5% but does not overpower this bold red. Full-bodied and fruit-forward, it is a close cousin of the Aussie Shiraz I love from @rockford.wines in the Barossa Valley. It has full-on aromas of floral violets, spice, black cherry, and plum. The flavours are raspberries, blackberries, blueberries, black cherry, caramel and licorice, with black and white pepper notes. Smooth tannins and a long finish complete the profile. This wine is ideally suited for cellaring, with exceptional aging potential. 93 Points.๐Ÿ”ฅ๐Ÿ”ฅ #topshelf #yesbcwine #bcwine #foodielife #bcwinecountry #winecountry #wine #explorebc #explorebcwine #foodfriendly #winelover #wineblogger #shiptosip #BuyBC #bcwinelife #okanagan #oliver #vasanti #josephinenhรผtte #vancouver #heatdome #syrah #shiraz
