@KacabaVineyards Cab Franc Reserve. A bit hot at 14.5 alc. bright cherry. Almost a bit too herbal. Plum. Soft tannin. Needs more fruit/alc balance. @winecountryont #wbc13

Harsh tannin, wasn't completely unpleasant, may pair well with steak. Did not pair well with dessert.

No trace of green bell pepper here. All dark fruit with notes of tobacco, spice and even a little chocolate. Incredibly rich and indulgent

Firm tannins, lovely vanilla on the nose.

Really excellent structure, hotter and richer than you'd expect from Niagara (from a very warm summer), but with greater strong tannins. Could have aged a fair bit longer.
