Description
Cabernet Franc does very well in Ontario, and under the watchful eye of Owner/Winemaker David Johnson, it really shines. This consistently over-delivers at this price point, offering excellent depth and complexity. Expect rich, dark fruit and vanilla notes accented by bright floral tones. This has the balance and structure to reward 2+ years in the cellar but can be enjoyed tonight with your favourite grilled meats.

Tasting Notes
Dark cherry, boysenberry, blackberry, vanilla and a lovely rosebush note on the nose. Excellent intensity and presence with big, chunky tannins. A smoky grilled-red-pepper character emerges mid-palate. This closes with a long, tannin-framed finish. Go with 1-2 years in the cellar to soften this, or enjoy it tonight with beef stew with root veggies, or red pepper stuffed with rice and meat. (VINTAGES panel, Jan. 2014)
