Variety: Cabernet Franc
Region: Niagra Peninsula, sub appellation: St David's Bench
Vintage: 2010
Colour:  dark ruby 
Alcohol: 13.0%
Bouquet: Lifted aromas of anise and soaked, plummy wood
Flavour: more towards blackcurrant in flavour with more robust tannins than the CF tried earlier. Lighter in the mid palate but enduring length and evenness.
Points: 85 (3+7+11+7+7+50)
Notes:  Lovely wine with much potential to age. Would be great to try it aged after a couple of more years. Interestingly this is CAD36.80 versus the Palatine which was only CAD20.
