Natalie's Score: 91/100

From Tawse Winery in the Lincoln Lakeshore, Niagara Peninsula wine region, Guy Lafleur 2017 Cabernet Franc is a top tier red produced from small batch Cab Franc grapes. Dry, full-bodied and vibrant, look for candied cherries, rich raspberry, toasty oak, pepper spice and flinty flavours on the palate. Tannins are fine and grippy. Aged 16 months in French oak barrels. Enjoy with Osso Buco or braised meats. Guy Lafleur has followed up his Hall of Fame career in the NHL and has partnered with some of the best winemakers and producers in Canada to produce top-flight wines.

Cuvée Cabernet Franc food pairings: veal chops, grilled flat-iron steak, roast Cornish game hens.
