WineNot Ontario review July 9,2010

 
Truly Local Terroir!

This much anticipated premium red wine is truly unique, 100% county grown Cabernet Franc grapes have been aged for 12 months in barrels crafted from Prince Edward County white oak from the Carriage House Cooperage.

This wonderfully oaked County Cabernet Franc has a full berry nose and a lovely ripe raspberry flavour.

Excellent paired with grilled meats and game.
