Pelee Island Winery 2007 Cabernet Franc

Author :Michael Pinkus - Grape Guy
DescriptionDescription  The new Pelee Island LCBO general list Cabernet Franc sports a new label but keeps the same value it always has. The nose is pretty off putting at this time – it’s only been in bottle for about 3 weeks, so I suspect this is going to come around. Light oak treatment of no more than 6 months makes this wine a pleasure to drink now. Ripe fruit in the mouth with a great cherry tobacco mid-palate and pleasant medium length finish. The new label is a classy burgundy-red on a very complimentary black background, still present, but in a different colour, is the newt – now golden. The label is now as appealing as the wine. Price: $12.95
