I've followed Painted Rock's Cabernet Franc for years, and 2022 is a spectacular delivery. At 14.3%, this is arguably the most elegant wine of the entire current release.

Ā 

The nose is classic BC Cabernet Franc, ripe and expressive with red pepper, violet, espresso, tobacco, and dark currant and black cherry, all showing up in the right order.

Ā 

The palate is full, intense and powerful, but the elegance never disappears. Black cherry, red cherry, cocoa, and tobacco lead the way, with a hint of charcoal emerging on the back end. Toasty oak notes dance through the mid-palate and into the finish, beautifully integrated, never a nuisance. The spice on the finish is stunning.

Ā 

It lingers, and lingers, and then lingers some more. A wonderful wine!
