2016 Cabernet Franc VQA

$24.95

This is our first Cabernet Franc aged entirely an American oak barrels, for 12 months. Deep ruby colour and coarsely filtered to aid in ageing, so some sediment may appear. Sweet and smoky aromas, with strawberry, cigar box, and worn leather on the nose. On the palate you’ll find roasted red pepper, black cherry, and hints of vanilla. Seemingly dry, this is our sweetest red at 16.0g/L residual sugar. Fuller body with a long finish, surrounded with elegant tannins, even at its age. Pair this wine with game meat, marbled steaks, or blackened ribs. Decant for best results. 750ml bottle, 12.6% ABV.

Winemakers: Luke Orwinski, Jerry Kopanski
