At first sniff, had very light berry tones but after letting it breath more it opened up. Had some dark currant flavors with maybe some cherry. I wasn't getting the pepper notes to the extent I was hoping for from this one. Grapes felt a bit young. For a cab franc, decent bang for buck.

Mouthfilling red fruit on intro. Bordering on jammy, but love the familiar Canuck med-present stems on super-smooth finish. 12.8% VQA bought at lcbo in Ottawa. $15

A very fruit-forward Cabernet Franc here with plum, black cherry, spice and a bit of earth. Soft and fruity with great length.

Meh. A decent wine, would certainly enjoy it if offered, but won't be buying again.

Fruity yumminess (berry) with a nice light taste.
