Southbrook Canadian Framboise

This has long been one of the best fruit wines produced in Ontario, period. There is a directness and honesty to the raspberry fruit that is almost startling – as if you were deep in the berry patch picking on a hot summer day, with the brush, leaves and earth. A touch candied and jammy on the palate. It is full bodied, very sweet, with very good acidity, that drives onto the finish. It is not complex but it is a treat. The length is excellent. Last tasted January 2022. Score – 92. (David Lawrason, winealign.com)
