Winemaker’s Comments
The 2020 growing season was exceptional in Niagara and produce wines of great ripeness, concentration and complexity. Our 2020 Grower’s Blend Cabernet Franc is
produced from carefully selected parcels from the Niagara Peninsula and was aged for 16 months in French oak barrels.
It possesses expressive aromas of blackberry, blueberry, spices, cocoa, and cigar box. On the palate, it is rich, robust and powerful, with great aroma replay, and the finish is balanced and firm.

Food Pairings
This ripe and structured red will pair perfectly with grilled steak, and roasted leg of lamb. It would also go well with young, hard cheeses and a charcuterie platter.
