I have two #organic #Cabernets for you today from @summerhillwine in Kelowna. I received their 2019 Organic Cabernet Sauvignon and the 2018 Organic Cabernet Franc to taste and review. The wines after being made were aged for some time in their winery pyramid. These wines besides being organic are also suitable for drinking by vegans. Summerhill Pyramid Winery Organic Cabernet Sauvignon 2019 Appearance: A deep dull garnet colour with a hint of ruby. About 90% opaque, but still translucent to the core. Nose: A medium intensity nose with a wide variety of aromas, starting off with dill (which I love), red fruits, blackberries, vanilla, baby powder, sweet spices and red cherries. With swirling the dill aroma fades and you then get some smokiness, mace, and dark fruit aromas. Palate: This wine is very slightly off-dry, medium-bodied, fairly round, but has some linearity. Medium acidity and very light, soft supple tannins. Flavours of red cherries, candied red cherries, red fruits, sweet spices, cedar, and touches of chocolate and capsicum. Some minerality in the background and blackberries toward the finish. The acidity provides lively red fruit flavours. Finish: A medium length finishing with light intensity red fruit, sweet spices and cedar. Light pepperiness as well. The finish fades fairly quickly. Summerhill Pyramid Winery Organic Cabernet Franc 2018 Appearance: A deep, dull garnet in colour, about 80% opaque, translucent to the core. Nose: A pronounced intensity nose, with loads of red fruit, sweet spices / cinnamon, red cherries, blackberries, oak and cedar. With some air, you can add vanilla and candied cherry aromas. Palate: Dry, medium-bodied with a soft, semi-round mouthfeel. Medium-plus intensity flavours of red cherries, candied red cherries, raspberries, and touches of salty minerality, oak and cedar, pepperiness and cinnamon. Light fine tannins and medium acidity. Finish: A medium length with a light finish. Ripe sweet red fruit, oak and cinnamon. More acidity than tannins on the finish. Both wines have very pretty red fruit flavours.
