Classic cool climate CF aromatics with riper fruit on the palate. The most engaging domestic version of the grape I've had. Changeable but steady over two days. #permanwine

This is a new wine which Carte Blanche import - lovely sweet vanilla from the oak but retains a balanced acidity which give a wonderful freshness - 2010

Perfect Cabernet Franc, nose has dark fruits and floral notes. Deep and flavourful on the palette with plenty of the PM funk that regulars would know and love. Even has notes of sweet red peppers and black pepper. I will definitely be back for more!

Very surprised to have such a great wine from Ontario/Niagara. Though bold, dark, and spicy, this is a nicely balanced 13.6% al cab franc. Would def buy again.
