A generously long 2012 growing season in the south Okanagan Valley paid off marvellously for this rich cabernet franc. Full-bodied and polished, it's packed to the brim with layers of cherry jam, vanilla, dusty cocoa and new leather, joined by moist underbrush and a whiff reminiscent of a campfire in the distance. The tannins are gently chalky, yielding solid structure. Much riper and a lot less herbal than your typical Loire Valley cab franc. Great for roast pork. Available only through the B.C. estate's wine club, township7.com.
