This wine is 100% Cabernet Franc with maturation
taking place in a combination of new French and American oak for 12 months,
the alcohol comes in at 14.6%.
Great nose on this wine with aromas of vanilla, wild berries,
plums, black currants, tobacco leaf, cedar and gentle wood spices. On the
mouthfeel, a medium-full bodied wine with a great spicy energy on the
palate, fresh
acidity and silky tannins. This wines finish is long, with loads of energy
and very flavourful.
The Oldfield Series Cabernet Franc is always the first Tinhorn Creek wine to
sell out every year, and for good reason. It is a youthful wine with bright and
spicy flavours. Absolutely gorgeous, score 91 points.
