Niagara Peninsula VQA Cabernet Franc

Black plums, cassis, and some of the green pepper you'd likely expect. Pleasant sip with their pizzas.

Not as smooth as I like

Opened this a few days ago and then caught it this evening, just before it fell off. Excellent Ontario table wine. Medium everything: held up to steak, didn't overpower chicken.

2016 vintage was fantastic. Food-friendly acidity, but this is one that could also stand alone.

Great with Chinese food

A blackberry and tobacco taste. Bold without being overwhelming. Goes great with pasta.

Not bold, easy drinking

Not a lot going on, but very approachable and food friendly.

Tried at the #lcbopopup Not for me. A little watery (a Niagara specialty) but also with too much going on.

Great value Cab Franc! Elegant cassis, spice and smokey notes, medium bodied, well balanced, pleasant ripe plumb finish.
