WTN: Vineland Cabernet Franc 2010

Vineland Estates
Niagara Peninsula

Bright cherry red in the glass.

Spicy, raspberry on the nose.

Medium weight, cherry, raspberry, good tangy acidity, red licorice, spicy, light green pepper notes, with a bitter bite toward the end.

Mouthwatering, bitter finish.

Okay, but the bitterness was rather annoying.

Screwcap closure.

Purchased at $12.95 (Canadian).

Interesting! I think you'll find some gems from the 2010 vintage. I've had a few from the US side of the river and liked what I've had so far, but I think they will improve over the next 3-5 years.

I have the 2007 Vineland Cab Franc I want to open this summer.
