$22.95 +HST

Platinum Award Winner – 2025 National Wine Awards of Canada.
This Cabernet Franc has expressive notes of black cherry, ripe plum, and black currant. The ripe fruit notes follow through to the palate, complemented by underlying savory notes of black licorice and thyme. Remains fresh, rich and well-balanced. It is medium to full body with mouthwatering acidity and outstanding structure.

Food Pairings

This wine is incredibly versatile to pair with a variety of dishes. It would pair perfectly with pork tenderloin, braised beef stew, lasagna, pizza or pasta with a tomato-based sauce, and BBQ meats like burgers and sausages.

Winemaking Notes

Sourced from three different vineyards in Niagara, the grapes were all harvested very late in the growing season from low-yielding vines. After macerating on their skins for an extended period, the wines were drained into barrel, where they aged for 12 months. After aging on lees, the wines were assembled and bottled, without fining or filtration.

Accolades:

Pure medium red. Glycerous. Wood and ripe dark fruit. Fleshy, fluid palate, moderate tannins, gently furry. Good overall composure, sleek, well-made, balanced. Best from 2026. Tasted Blind at the NWACs 2025. John Szabo, MS
