Thirty Bench 2020 is produced from 100% Cab Franc sourced from the Niagara Peninsula wine region, with a typical nose of bright ripe raspberry, pencil shavings and fine herbs with a kiss of vanilla on the finish. Tannins are velvety and very approachable now. Pour with a veal Porterhouse.

Reviews and Ratings

Thirty Bench Winemaker's Blend 2020 is produced from 100% Cab Franc sourced from the Niagara Peninsula wine region. Fresh on the nose with sour cherry, red berry, sagey and flinty aromas and flavours, it is dry, medium-bodied and vibrant on the palate. Refined and elegant with firm, structured tannins, the wine will continue to evolve in bottle for several years. Drink now through 2030. - Community Wine Reviews

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.
