Now that Norm has found a steady stream of Cabernet Franc in the County he can make this delicate beauty every year. Not the powerhouse fruit forward version you find out Niagara-way, this one shows more of the feminine side of the grape: violets and raspberry on the nose, making it exceptionally fragrant – palate has a nice texture with violets and black cherry along with hints of pepper and spice … there’s a low 11.1% alcohol, so as not to be heavy on the palate, and then finishes with a little tobacco leaf linger.
