A terrific, vibrant Ontario Cabernet Franc wine. Rich and full-bodied with layers of dark plums, smoke and mocha. Beautifully balanced, with a fresh finish. Pair with grilled pork chops or lamb.

Cabernet Franc food pairings: pasta with bolognese sauce, mushroom risotto, bouillabaisse, coq au vin, roasted guinea hen or game birds, steak tartar, hearty beef stews.
