Okanagan Crush Pad
Owen Cerqueira Vineyard Cabernet Franc
Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, Canada
2011 vintage and 100 % Okanagan Cabernet Franc.
Deep ruby red; impressive colour after 12 years.
Dried sweet raspberries, tobacco, sage .
and celery root on the nose.
Older dark fruit, tea, leather and garrigue. Tannins are smooth and acidity is still present and working well.
Owen Knowlton won Sommelier of the year in 2011 in British Columbia and was awarded the opportunity to make a wine with Okanagan Crush Pad…his choosing. 3 barrels…or 75 cases were made. Owen is a good friend and gifted me one of his last remaining bottles.

Juicy full fruit with blueberry and current flavours, bright acid and softly integrated tannins. Well done Owen Knowlton!
