The ‘Stone continues to make some of the best, and best value, Cabernet Franc in Niagara – The colour comes from skin contact for 21 days and that lovely sweetness of fruit comes, not only from the year the grapes were grown, but also the American oak used to age the wine. Ripe raspberry, cherry and tobacco hit the nose and are followed up on the palate adding hints of smoke through to the finish … Layers of flavours and ready to drink, but age-able as well, say 5-7 years easy. Price: $19.95 – Rating: ****+
