Quite closed off initially Opened up after an hour The pyrazine notes are quite "baked" -- in the sense they are more red bell peppers than green Ripe/tart black fruit aromas Medium+ tannins Much more expressive on palate than on nose, with tart black fruit notes Excellent length Good for short or medium term consumption

Smoky currant, tobacco, green peppercorns, and clay nose. Medium-bodied, flavourful, and well-balanced palate with a complete, structured finish. 3.5/5

Crimson-black; black cherries, blackberries, black pepper, smoke, vanilla; ripe cherry/berry, minerally, slightly spicy, silky, medium body, a bit hot, decent acidity, grainy tannins, nice finish Fruity aroma with juicy cherry/berry flavours and astringent tannins. Nice minerality but alcohol high for level of ripeness.

Very nice Ontario Cab Franc. Good concentration for this price level, medium rich. Juicy berry fruit with good acidity. Bistro style wine that pairs well with food.
