Southbrook Cabernet Franc - Watson Vineyard

Southbrook Cabernet Franc - Watson Vineyard Wine Details
Price: $24.95 per bottle

Description: This wine is made from Cabernet Franc grapes, all from the Watson Vineyard in Niagara-on-the-Lake. This Cabernet Franc displays classic characteristics, similar to the great wines from the Loire Valley in France. This wine displays a brilliant hue and a deep red/purple colour. Concentrated cranberry aromas are softened by coffee aromas arising from barrel aging. The mouthfeel is silky but firm, with ripe mouth coating tannins. Fresh raspberry flavours persist through the (seemingly never-ending) finish. This wine is a classic match for roasted leg of lamb, but also works well with spicy tomato based sauces. Drink up to nine years after vintage date.
