Peninsula Ridge 2002 Cabernet Franc

Author :Michael Pinkus - Grape Guy
DescriptionDescription  There’s lots going on in this bottle of Cabernet Franc from Ontario’s big 2002 vintage, so let’s get right down to it. The nose is red fruit oriented with some raspberry and cherry, but there’s also some sweet spice notes like cinnamon and cardamom and hints of cedar … a very pleasant mixture. In the mouth, it’s still a little closed up. I’m expecting it to open up in the next few years, but right now, it’s showing hints of the raspberry and cedar from the nose along with some blackberry and pepper. The overall effect is quite pleasurable; it could definitely use a little longer on the cellar shelf to bring out its full potential, but it’s showing well now. Lots of harmless sediment coated both the top and bottom of the bottle and bottom of the glass, so decanting or pouring slowly into your glass will help alleviate this minor inconvenience.
