I might not have participated in the Great Cdn Wine Challenge, but I'll throw in this baby for the finale. #GCWC

Thought Poplar Grove's big Cab Franc could handle the new XL Riefel. It didn't disappoint.

Continues to be an amazing Canadian wine. One of my favs. This 2018 has an earthy nose, some leather and dark fruit. The palate is incredibly expressive. It’s bold, we’ll structured balanced tannins with oak, tobacco and sour cherry. Outstanding.

I love my Cab Franc, growing so well in Canada. Lovely aromatic nose of violets and stewed fruit with an enticing palate of roasted pepper, dried plum and a long lasting sour cherry finish. Loved it.
