| ESTATE GROWN CAVE SPRING VINEYARD CABERNET FRANC 2023 VQA Beamsville Bench, Niagara Escarpment |
| Vintage Assessments Tasting Note |
Producer |
CAVE SPRING |
| This fresh 2023 has a bright fairly deep purple-red colour. The nose is slightly spicy and fairly intense with bright, plum-crancherry fruit along with some gentle minerally, faintly cedary notes. Dry, medium bodied, bright, still quite youthful, ripe plum flavours with a lingering, crisp, very faintly minerally finish. A well-made, ready-to-drink Cab Franc with good acidity with some barrel aging. It has 13.5% alcohol and under 2 g/L residual sugar with lot number L290-12025-0824 on the lower part of the glass bottle. |

| TASTING NOTE: From one of Niagara's most reliable premium producers, this characterful, consistent, charming Cabernet Franc is ripe and concentrated, with generous blueberry, black fruit, cassis, forest floor, roasted red pepper, savoury herbs, earth, coffee, and lifted mint tones. Polished and enjoyable, it's drinking beautifully now and will continue to evolve into the early 2030s. |
