Tinhorn Creek Oldfield Series Cabernet Franc 2010, VQA Oliver, Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, Canada


 

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.  

Purchased March 1, 2013 at the Vancouver International Wine Festival at $34.99
