A Canadian Amarone? with Cabernet Franc grapes? And what's worse? It's actually delicious! Like... if you stuck this in a blind tasting with a group of Valpolicella monsters, I wouldn't be able to pluck it as the odd one out... I even fear it would be better than some. Very impressive!

Holy crap the nose on this. Like a bouquet of flowers. Has jammy notes, like a fresh strawberry or raspberry jam. On first sip, I get vanilla, chocolate, cranberries, strawberries, pepper, honey, oak. It's complex as heck but works so well. Very unique.
