Description Here’s where the effects of ageing in oak can really be seen (and tasted of course). Where the unoaked version was more fruit, this version is woody, tannic and with more spices mixed in with the fruit. There’s the typical green pepper found in many Ontario Cabernet Francs, along with white pepper and cherries on the nose. It’s when you take your first sip that you start to get some spices, mainly vanilla and cinnamon, along with a great raspberry flavour that flows continuously through your mouth. The finish is where this wine really sparkles: medium long and with good wood and fruit integration, oak with cherries; if you lick the coating the wine leaves in your mouth you’ll get it, and it’s lovely. Pick up as few bottles of this pleasant and delicious sipper, lay down a couple for good measure. And what’s more, it’s an excellent value wine to boot.
