WTN: Wasn't a fluke

[Jenise]

Yesterday we had this delightful Cab Franc:

2019 Adega on 45th Cabernet Franc Okanagan Valley
A lighter style of cab franc that suits me just fine--closer to Loire Cab Franc than typical North American. Bright, complex and fantastic QPR at $22 Canadian.

I entered the above into CT without revisiting the tasting note of the one previous occasion on which I had a wine from this winery (someone else's bottle). I just now looked it up. Turns out that one was a '17 with about the same amount of bottle age, and my notes were almost identical. In particular:

2017 Adega on 45th Cabernet Franc Okanagan Valley
...Complex and bright, very Loire-ish. Restrained and European, a food wine that came alive when the steaks were served.

Now I know--it really IS the house style.

Had a very nice visit there last July and purchased the 2018 CF, yet to try.

Bob, I'm sure you'll enjoy it.

Had never heard of them. Will have to drop by on our next wine trek! The approach reminds me of Quinta Ferreira (up the road from Le Vieux Pin).

Bill, definitely a wine you'd like. At that price, a perfect everyday wine and it's from the home team! Bought it at Everything Wine two days ago, also picked up a merlot just to try.
