  Dark ruby in color with a reddish rim.
  
  Soft nose of blackberries, black currants, cherries, spices, cedar, vanilla, licorice, chocolates, tobacco, herbs and black pepper.
  
  Full bodied with medium acidity and long legs.
  
  Dry on the palate with black currants, plums, cooked cherries, cedar, vanilla, spices, espresso, earth, chocolates and peppercorn.
  
  Tangy finish with fine grained tannins and tangy raspberries.
  
  This is a very tasty Cabernet Franc from Oakville. Nicely balanced with a soft mouthfeel. Rich yet elegant.
  
  I had the 2007 a few years ago, and it is very consistent. This 8 year old will continue to age nicely in the next 5 years.
  
  Good by itself or with food. Tangy and interesting. Just Delicious.
  
  14.5% alcohol by volume.
  
  92 points.
  
  $85.

  Bright red fruits, decent finish. Slightly acidic on the front end and hot, but after 30 minutes in glass wine settled in
