Oldfield Reserve Cabernet Franc 2015

- 92 points -

Another stellar vintage for Cabernet Franc, handled with precision and care by Tinhorn Creek who have helped elevate the prestige of the less-planted Cab in the Okanagan Valley. This reserve Franc spends a year in oak before being blended with 15% Merlot sourced from the same Diamond Back Vineyard along the Black Sage Bench, then it's returned to barrel for another 6 months prior to bottling. 

Absolutely seductive on the sweet herbs'n'spice and dark berry scented nose. A dry palate follows with a similar flavour profile, enhanced by cocoa and anise notes and boasting the unique ability to taste both smooth and vibrant with grippy tannins, lifted acidity and a long, silky finish where spice and a touch of blood orange lingers.
