Description Let’s forget for a moment the cute trotting coyote on the label and focus in on this delicious Cabernet Franc from, what many see as, a difficult vintage in Niagara, from one of Niagara-on-the-Lake’s newer wineries. The nose of strawberry, raspberry and blueberry accosts the nose first mixing all the fruit up and blending them like a smoothie … then there’s some vegetable in the mix, not the usual green pepper, something more subtle – celery. The taste is just as interesting. Smooth and velvety in the mouth, with just the merest hint of tannin – this wine drinks wonderfully right now with tastes of raspberry and sour cherry in the front palate and bittersweet chocolate and walnuts on the aftertaste – mmm mmm good! A dollar over our usual recommendation but well worth the investment.
