Reviews and Ratings

Jennifer Havers - WSET Level 3 rated this wine as 91/100 with the following review:

I love this winery, they include so much information on their labels! This Cabernet Franc was harvested October 18, 2017 from the Lost Horn Vineyard in Okanagan Falls, BC. Aromas of ripe raspberry, blackberry, and cedar smoke, with bright acidity and soft tannins on the palate. Fruit flavours are ripe and bright; the oak and smoky hints are subtle on a long finish. Lovely balance of fruit, smoke, and acidity. This wine spent 13 months in French oak with only 20% being new. So delicious!! Enjoy with mushroom or lentil dishes, or grilled beef kebabs.

Unquenchable by Natalie MacLean

Natalie MacLean is a new force in the wine writing world ‐ a feisty North American answer to Hugh Johnson and Jancis Robinson. She can write beautifully about wine.

The Financial Times of London

There are very few people in the wine world who "get it" and Natalie is one of those who brings more fun to a buttoned-up and stodgy game.
