Tasting Notes: A new, Super Tuscan inspired wine from LaStella with Cabernet Franc leading the way at 55% of the final blend with the balance consisting of 20% Cabernet Sauvignon, 20% Merlot and 5% Sangiovese, all sourced from multiple Southern Okanagan sub-regions. Offers a feminine-earthy profile, on the herbaceous, floral and brambly berry nose and on the medium-bodied, concentrated palate graced with vanilla'n'spice-kissed berry flavours and framed by mouth-watering, yet, effortless acidity and engaging, yet, refined tannins. 


Ready to go now and should hold for many years. Further development is possible, however, the wine is showing beautifully now, so why wait? Drink now-2022+.

On a side note: In the Summer of "Despacito", I'd much rather be drinking...

Es-spres-si-vo,
Choose to cellar if you want, that's nitto,
Or open one and serve it with beef-o,
Just don't invite me over when it's finito
Es-spres-si-vo!
