Cabernet Franc is a notorious Similkameen all-star varietal. This micro lot has been a wine enthusiast favourite since we first began farming it, and is arguably our most popular varietal. Savoury sage, roasted pepper, coffee, black tea spice and plums make this a generous and concentrated wine. This wine is quite ready to enjoy.
Cabernet Franc is a notorious Similkameen all-star varietal. On the nose is black forest cake, cherry, & raspberry, while the palate is savoury, with sweet & spicy tobacco and marzipan. Great concentration with a generous nose. Firm tannins introduce a toasted oak finish with length. Try with grilled/cured meats or cheese and crackers!
Having the opportunity to continuously challenge ourselves is an important part of crafting premium wines. With this philosophy, our Cabernet was born. This micro lot was aged for 36 months in 40% new, 40% second use and 20% third use French oak barrels. Exercising patience, paying close attention and tasting the evolution of these 5 barrels has made this wine a masterpiece. It is with great pleasure we share with you this full bodied, rich and generous varietal Cabernet Sauvignon.

Hand picked from the estate's Stemwinder soils, look for Cabernet's stewed black fruits and Syrah's sweet and spicy pip tobacco notes. Like the Menhir at Corcelettes, this wine is bold and proud. Unfiltered and unfined.
