Bench 1775 Cabernet Franc Malbec 2018 Vintage

This no-traditional blend of Cabernet Franc and Malbec was produced with fruit sourced frome ast facing vineyards on Osoyoos.

Cabernet Franc ripens well in the Okanagan Valley, but Malbec can be far more demanding to reach ripeness in minay vineyards.

Fortunately, the 2018 Cabernet Franc Malbec begins with ripe characteristics of plum, cassis, blueberry, mint, herbs and floral notes.

The palate is ripe with dark fruit characters, tobacco, moderate acidity, soft medium/full bodied wine followed by firm tannins, and aged in 40% new French  oak for 13 months.
