Cool-climate Cabernet Franc at its very best. A windswept hallway of minty black plum on the nose. Rich, ripe dark berries unfold on the palate. Full-bodied but not heavy.

Cabernet Franc food pairings: boeuf bourguignon, rib roast, roast duck.

Delightful Duck Wine

Reviews and Ratings

Jennifer Havers - WSET Level 3 rated this wine as 92/100 with the following review:

Beautiful Ontario Cabernet Franc, with aromas of blackberry, cranberry, and plum, along with hints of cedar and a touch of tobacco. Medium-full bodied, with bright acidity, and light tannins, with tart and ripe red berry notes on the palate and more of the smoky and tobacco hints. Enjoy with grilled pork and vegetables at your summer BBQ.

Natalie MacLean is a new force in the wine writing world ‐ a feisty North American answer to Hugh Johnson and Jancis Robinson. She can write beautifully about wine.
