This is always one of the best value wines in the LCBO and one of the best value Cabernet Francs in all of Ontario … it’s made under the loving care of winemaker and Cabernet Franc fan Brian Schmidt, and his love of the grape really shows through. The nose has raspberry, tobacco and hints of cherry … these aromas follow effortlessly onto the palate; another great version of this base model Franc, which bodes well for the higher up ranges of Franc to be released in the next year or so. Price: $13.95 – Rating: ****+
