Featherstone Cabernet Franc 2015
VQA Niagara Peninsula $19.95 (64618) 12.5% alcohol
Ripe, dark fruit aromas combine with herbaceous notions of dry leaves, tobacco and graphite on the nose. Dry, medium bodied with defined tannin, the palate’s lively and juicy with blackberry, dark cherry and tart cranberry flavours mingling with spice while mineral notes and hints of tomato leaf appear on the dry, savoury finish. Serve with herbed leg of lamb. (Lisa Isabelle)
