The 2015 vintage of Hester Creek Estate Winery's Block 3 Reserve Cabernet Franc is spectacular! It's made from special barrels of estate-cellared, old vines Cabernet Franc planted on the Golden Mile Bench in the Okanagan Valley, British Columbia. Aromas of woodsmoke, dark berries, and spice. Smooth tannins. Pair with grilled meats.

Reviews and Ratings

Jennifer Havers - WSET Level 3 rated this wine as 92/100 with the following review:

Delicious! Aromas of blackberry, blueberry, jammy raspberries, cedar smoke, dried herbs and leather. Full bodied with some bright acidity and firm tannins. Fruit is ripe and slightly tart on the palate, really nicely balanced and more spicy and smoky notes on the finish. Enjoy with slow cooked beef short ribs in a semi glace
