Bench 1775 Cabernet Malbec

BC VQA - British Columbia Vintners' Quality Alliance

This Cabernet Franc Malbec blend was crafted from east-facing vineyards in Osoyoos. Cabernet Franc thrives in the Okanagan, while Malbec demands more care to reach full ripeness—beautifully achieved in this vintage. Ripe aromas of plum, cassis, blueberry, and mint lead to a palate rich with dark fruit, tobacco, and subtle herbal notes. Medium to full-bodied with firm tannins and moderate acidity, the wine was aged 13 months in 40% new French oak for added depth and structure.

Enjoy with grilled meats, spaghetti Bolognese, vegan chili, Mediterranean pizza, or hot pot.
