Palatine Hills Winery Estate 2010 Cabernet Franc



Variety: Cabernet Franc
Region: Niagara Peninsula, sub appellation: Niagra Lakeshore
Vintage: 2010
Colour:  Dark Purple

Alcohol: 13.5%
Bouquet: Rich aromas of cherry, sweet soaked oak, and maybe even some dark chocolate
Flavour: Fruit is more toward plum with drying spices of rosemary and thyme. Lovely length and good, evident without being overpowering tannins.
Points: 87 (3+7+12+7+8+50)

Notes:  Cabernet Franc is done very well in the Niagara region and mark my words, will one day be its flagship varietal.
