Pamela Chiles rated this wine as 88/100 with the following review:

Quite a nifty Ontario Cab Franc on the LCBO regular list - easy to pick up a few bottles to keep on hand for summer bbq or winter stew. Lots of ripe cherry, raspberry with nice toasty-smokey highlights, focused tannins and fresh acidity. Great value.

Cherie Cole rated this wine as 90/100 with the following review:

I love the combination of red berry and smokey aromas of this Cabernet Franc. Medium-bodied with smokey black cherry flavours. Pair with grilled beef burgers. Tasted March 2017.

Lori Kilmartin WSET3 rated this wine as 90/100 with the following review:

This is a great representation of what Niagara VQA Cabernet Franc should smell and taste like. Notes of raspberry, leather and smoke. On the palate cherry and raspberry with some pepper and spice. Medium body with well integrated tannins and balanced acidity. I opened this bottle on a Sunday night with company. It was the perfect foil for medium rare prime rib, potatoes dauphinoise, green bean almondine and charred broccolini. Tasted March 19, 2017 @vinelandestates @benchwineguy
