  Nice Cab Franc. Ready to drink. Tasted a couple comparable wines and this held up well against some more expensive bottles.

  2019 Tawse Cabernet Franc Growers Blend was aromatic and refreshing. Sealed under a TCA-free DIAM-10 cork, the youthful Niagara Cabernet Franc was clear and medium ruby, without any observable sediments. Expressive bouquet of fresh blackberry, lilac, mint and vanilla jumped out of the glass. Underneath were positive of varietal characters of pencil shaving and tobacco leaf.
  
  The mouthfeel was dry and medium-bodied, marked by a high level of bright acidity and a medium level of polished tannin. There were coherent flavours of tart berries, blackcurrant, cocoa, cigarette smoke and a hint of wet stone minerals in a medium, joyful finish.
  
  The civilised 12.5% alcohol was a rarity in the warming globe. The empty bottle weighed 514 grams. The wine was raised in French oak barrels for 16 months. 4,500 bottles were produced.

  Lots of acidity, fresh tart plums and blackberries. Wood is minor, nice soft herbs.

  Rubis. Nez épices, bois, pin et boîte de cigares. Moyenne longueur, fruit et bois. Très bon.
