Two Sisters
Niagara River Cabernet Franc
Niagara River, Niagara Peninsula, Ontario, Canada
While Caberent Franc often plays second fiddle to its progeny Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon, the grape earns star status on the Niagara Peninsula. Two Sisters crafts a dazzling Cab Franc from the Niagara River appellation that illuminates everything there is to love about this characterful grape. Aged entirely in French oak, 15% new, the wine matches its signature herbaceous, white pepper flavors and spicy cayenne, paprika notes with a juicier backbone of cassis and tart blackberries.

A gift from colleagues, and what a surprise! Bright dark cherry, with a little blackberry bitterness bite. A little spicy pepper, and medium tannins.

Surprising jammy particularly compared to the more nuanced depth of the 2016.
There are big berry fruits here.

Pepper, hints of mint. Bigger than the typical Cab Franc.
