Ontario Reviews

Sandbanks 2008 Cabernet Franc
During the 2009 Artevino judging, I ranked this wine in my top three of Francs from the County – if memory serves it took home a Gold. As a lover of Franc I have a special place in my heart for wines made from this grape and it seems now that from coast-to-coast in Ontario (Prince Edward County to Lake Erie North Shore), we can do it well, making me more convinced that this is Ontario’s grape. The nose has a pretty floral cherry note that lures you in by the nose hairs; the palate continues what the nose detects with the sweet fruitiness of cherry that’s easy on the palate. Price: $19.95 – Rating: ****½
