A fantastic effort that also represents a smoking value, the 2012 Cabernet Franc boast thrilling notes of violets, wild flowers, black raspberry and mulberry styled fruits to go with a medium to full-bodied, voluptuously textured style on the palate. Showing the purity and focus of the vintage, this beauty will have over a decade of prime drinking.
This is another solid lineup by the team at Tamarack Cellars. The wines are made by Danny Gordon and show classic, nicely structured styles that will evolve gracefully. Across the board, these are impressive wines that are all rock-solid values.
