Stratus Cabernet Franc 2014
Niagara Peninsula, Ontario, CanadaPotent and dense, with grilled meats, blackberry thorns, black cherries, pitch on a bed of dark, moist humus soils. This Niagara-on-the-Lake wine spent approximately 18 months in French oak, one quarter new. Tannins are firm, but fine, and while the oak is evident, it always takes a background role to support the perfectly ripe (at 12.7 percent) fruit. I reckon that cabernet franc is Ontario's red card, and wines like this drive that home.Tasted: 01 November 2017Tasted by: Treve RingPrices:| ON | $38.00 | 750ml | winery direct |
