Narrative Red, 2021
Shipped and sold by Okanagan Crush Pad
- Cabernet Franc
- Cabernet Sauvignon
- Merlot
Wine Notes: A blend of Merlot, Cabernet Franc and Cabernet Sauvignon. Fermented and aged in Nico Velo concrete vessels, gently basket pressed and allowed to age for 11 months before bottling unfiltered. Juicy red berries are layered with licorice, dark chocolate and brambly fruits. The palate is a red and black fruit explosion with juicy mouth watering length and a supple and sensuous tannin profile. The ideal red for any occasion or just by itself with good friends.
Narrative wines tell the story of the Okanagan offering wines made from unique vineyard sites from the cooler zone in the north to the heat belt in the south. The region is greatly influenced by a 100 km chain of lakes and a range of soils established by retreating ice masses over 9,000 years ago. This wine is a hallmark example of the region.
