2004 Golden Mile Cellars Cabernet Franc

[TheEngineer]

I'm currently in Vancouver and without anyone that I needed to take out for dinner (where is Capocheny anyways....) I went out to one of the privately owned wine stores in Vancouver and picked up a few Okanagan, BC wines that are not distributed out of the area.

I do like the Golden Mile Cellars Estate Winery's 2004 Cabernet Franc. A nicely balanced wine though just a hint sweet for me. Dark garnet in colour but translucent almost, medium body. Nice floral nose, vanilla, and berries. On the palate, the wines is lively with cherries,plums, some spices and a bit of oak. Tannins are smooth. Nicely made wine and definitely cooler weather than Napa to the South....way south... 145 cases, $27.99 CDN (or about $25 USD)
