Vineland Estates Winery ‘Bo-Teek – Clone 214’ Cabernet Franc 2016
VQA Twenty Mile Bench $35.95 14.0% alcohol
Dark ruby-hued in the glass, aromas of mocha, floral notes and grilled savoury herbs waft easily. It blankets the palate with a tang-laden, tannin-laced flow of pie cherry and savoury notes persisting through the drying finish and aftertaste. It’s medium-plus bodied with plenty of texture and racy pizzazz. This cellar dweller will benefit and mellow from three years additional bottle maturation; pop corks 2023 to 2028. (Vic Harradine)
