Community Tasting Notes 5

  October 5, 2016 - Surprising flavor and length. Did not expect that, due to its age and the region. On the expensive side, but was a purchase from a trip to Canada several years ago with our kids to see Niagra Falls from the Canadian side.

  September 20, 2015 - Pleasant enough Cab Franc. Typical of the CF made in New York, and here, from near Niagra Falls, on the Canadian side. Light in body and flavor. Drinks well. Not a lot of finish. Good for lighter fare. Had with a 'Salad' pizza, which is heavy on the veggies and light on the cheese.

  November 12, 2013 - Bouquet is overwhelmed by alcohol; taste is pungent and bitter; would not buy again.

  May 6, 2013 - I picked this from a wine tasting bar and brought a bottle home. Never had a 100% Cab Franc, so I was curious. After spending some time with this bottle, I understand better why this grape is rarely vinified alone. Mostly dark fruit and bitter tannins. Lacks brightness and I found I lost interest after two glasses. Not bad, but not worth the $22 price tag.

  November 6, 2012 - One dimensional fuit with choclate notes and some good amount of body and oak finish. A bit candied in its aproach but the dark jammy fruit is a good - the wine lacks some secondary flavors and has a bit of an astringent finish that is slightly offputing but not nearly enough to avoid this wine.
