Vineland Cabernet Franc/Cabernet Sauvignon 2017

Rich and luscious on the nose, look for fruit-forward aromas of black cherry and dark bramble berry decorated with mocha and hints of pencil shavings. It’s über-flavourful on the palate with a surge of black currant, espresso roast, crème de cassis and hints of crunchy pie cherry persisting through the lengthy finish and aftertaste adorned with medium-full bodied texture and good tang and acidity throughout. Pick up a few as the price-quality balance tips well in your favour. Pour with grilled red meat you pull off your barbecue. Drink or cellar. Exceptional Value! Score – 93.
