Truly one of the best Cabernet Francs I've ever had. Clean red and black fruit with great minerality, sophisticated tannins, and an expansive finish. Old world elegance with new world focus. This truly is a Niagara cabernet franc, showing amazing balance and harmony. I'd pay $40 for this any day.

Seductive toasty nose with dark plum and oak. On the palate it is still rough with abrasive tannins. Bright acidity considering its ripeness but in combination with the tannic feel, it isn't very graceful at this point of its life. I assume it has a few years to go.

Balanced and light with bright fruit and a slight herbal twist. Very straight forward and simple.
