2020 Backyard Vineyard Social Cabernet Franc

<h2>Backyard Vineyards Social Cabernet Franc – A taut and elegant red wine from British Columbia</h2> <>The Backyard Vineyards Social Cabernet Franc grape variety originally comes from Bordeaux. It is one of the most popular red varieties in British Columbia. It plays a particularly important role in the Okanagan Valley. The climate there, with its warm summers and cool nights, offers suitable conditions for growing Cabernet Franc grapes. The region’s different microclimates also contribute to the development of unique flavour profiles in the wines. The wines from this grape variety are often characterised by aromas of red fruits such as raspberry and cherry, as well as herbal notes and a hint of spice. The wines can be medium to full-bodied, with moderate acidity and tannins. Several wineries in British Columbia produce single varietal Cabernet Franc wines, while others use the grape variety as a blend for Bordeaux-style blends. </p>   <h2>And what does the Social Cabernet Franc from Backyard Vineyards taste like?</h2> <>The Backyard Vineyards Social Cabernet Franc seduces with an appealing, fruity aroma of cherries, strawberries, cranberries and raspberries. There are also notes of fresh herbs, bay leaf, vanilla and liquorice. 10 per cent of this red wine was matured in small wooden barrels. Hints of green pepper and coffee. The juicy berry fruit is reflected on the palate. The tannin is firm, the acidity well supported. A full-bodied Cabernet Franc from Canada, with a long finish. </p>
