Description
Ontario's warm 2012 vintage produced some of the best Cabernet Franc on record. Quite frankly, this one is a nice illustration of the vintage: ripe, dark fruit, savoury spice and a beautiful combination of power and elegance. Pair it with grilled meats and stuffed bell peppers.

Tasting Notes
Frankly speaking, this is a beauty. It opens with a flurry of blackberry, currant, pomegranate and plum aromas that echo nicely on a palate where silky meets sinewy. A youthful, elegantly structured wine showing shades of the Loire and Bordeaux but still resolutely itself. The lengthy finish is fruity and chewy. Overall, an enchanting wine that'll evolve nicely through 2023 and pair well with coq au vin. (Vintages panel, April 2019)
