Inniskillin Niagara Estate Cabernet Franc 2013

Devon scored this wine: 91/100

An excellent buy in my opinion. Mix of naturally ripe black and red berries with ripe plumb as well. The fruit continues onto the plate with black pepper, hints of smoke, brown sugar and graphite mineral notes. A versatile pairing wine with nice acid and smooth tannins. I would enjoy this wine with BBQ ribs.

Excellent buy for under $20. Full body dynamic wine with a long pleasant finish. Blackberry notes, with black pepper, vanilla, cigar box. Tart acid with some grippy tannins. Can't get much better at this price. Pair with Prosciutto and salty cheese board.

Wonder full wine. Black currant, vanilla, black pepper. With its age earthy and gamey tones are becoming present. The mouth feel is my favorite part of the wine. The tannins are present but at the same time soft and velvety. I would pair this with roasted Lamb.

Sweet black fruit aromas, smoke, chocolate and an interesting chamomile tea note. Dried Apricot and orange peel on the palate. Tannins are still very present so this can continue to age. Pair with chocolates and salty cheese.

Dried apricot, pear, orange blossom, hazelnut, candied lemon and ginger. On the palate lovely honey notes appear as well. lovely acid cuts through the sweetness on the finish. Pair with a honey poached pear.
