Burrowing Owl in the Okanagan Valley have a reputation of excellent wines and this Cab Franc underlines this.

Like many Cab Francs is dry, fairly acidic with a decent hit of tannins and a little jammy in taste.

This is a bold wine with aromas and flavours of blackberry, black cherry, plums and chocolate undernotes. Spice, tobacco, oak and earthy flavours make this an interesting wine, very good on its own, possibly excellent with food, esp lamb kebabs and BBQ ribs.

As with most canadian wines its not cheap at approx £30 a bottle.
