2015 PAINTED ROCK ESTATE CABERNET FRANC
KY15PRCF
TASTING NOTES
Savoury and herbaceous aromas of olive, green pepper, smoke and mushrooms. Lively and bright on the
palate with delicate, fine tannins and further fruit expression with flavours of cherry, eucalyptus and menthol.
VINEYARD NOTES
The 2015 vintage kicked off with a warmer than average spring combined with minimal
precipitation, leading to early bud break and flowering. The rest of the growing season followed
suit with record breaking temperatures. Canopy management was key for Painted Rock in 2015.
Our 2015 Cabernet Franc was aged 18 months in 30% new French oak. This is our 3rd vintage of a small lot
Cabernet Franc. Just over 400 cases were produced in this vintage. This varietal has gained recognition both
for Painted Rock and British Columbia, with famed Decanter Magazine including the Painted Rock Cabernet
Franc in its pages three times in the first two vintages.
REVIEWS
2014/2015 InterVin International “Winery of the Year”
Richard Hemming, MW for www.jancisrobinson.com | "Like the 2014, this has stunning aromatic quality.
Wonderfully pure and pristine and powerful. Expertly manicured tannin and the weight and fruit intensity
holds up to the alcohol. Really charming youthfulness but should be cellared to allow the maturity to
develop." 17+ Points
John Schreiner "This is a wine remarkable for its power (15.3% alcohol) and intensity of flavour. Aromas of
cassis, blackberry and cherry bound from the glass, followed by a rich medley of red fruit on the palate,
including cherry, blackberry and raspberry. The hint of mocha on the finish supports a lush texture." 93
