Tinhorn Creek 2012 Cabernet Franc (Okanagan Valley)

Country: Canada /
Variety: Cabernet Franc British Columbia
Winery: Tinhorn Creek / Okanagan Valley

Pure varietal and surprisingly light for this often tannic grape, this leads with pretty raspberry and cherry fruit set in sweet baking spices, and finished with a lick of chocolate and a frame of toasty oak. It’s balanced and proportionate, though definitely on the lighter side.
