Absolutely beautiful light elegant delicious Niagara Cab Franc with just a hint of bell pepper. Bravo Brian Scmidtt for making such a great wine in a difficult vintage which just speaks to how good a winemaker you are and at $13 this is punching way above it's weight

Very light bodied and thin. Nose has musty earth, barnyard notes...palate is light, akin to a pinot. Some cherry fruit in there. Not digging this, needs more structure and backbone.

Fruit and earth. Very reminiscent of an old world Cab Franc! Lots of earth and terroir as well as fruit (dark cherries, plums) on the nose.

A bit light and thin, reminded us more of a Pinot. Same vegetal qualities typical of cab Franc. Would not buy again.
