Reviews and Ratings

Monique Sosa - Accredited Sommelier rated this wine as 86/100 with the following review:

This wine strikes me as a bit of an oddball. Aromas show pronounced candied raspberry - like Finnish berries candy - and flavours show sweet ripe berry notes. Nothing about this wine speak of a sense of place or even the slightest benchmark Ontario Cabernet Franc notes. On the other hand, it is easy drinking and party pleasing (especially for wine novices). So enjoy at your next backyard BBQ hoedown! Tasted June 2017 by @sommsosa | bespoketastings.ca
Jon Steeves - Sommelier rated this wine as 85/100 with the following review:

Ruby red, declared 12.8% ABV. This wine doesn't taste like a typical VQA Ontario Cab Franc. It is juicy and prominently showing as ripe candied red berry. I typically enjoy Cab Franc with food. This one is made for fun and sipping while at the beach or camping. Tasted 2014 vintage in June 2017. 85 points

Unquenchable by Natalie MacLean

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.

The Financial Times of London

There are very few people in the wine world who "get it" and Natalie is one of those who brings more fun to a buttoned-up and stodgy game.
