2015 C.C. Jentsch Small Lot Series Cabernet Franc, Golden Mile Bench, Okanagan Valley, British Columbia
Anthony Gismondi (gismondionwine.com): 88/100
The latest Jentsch Cabernet Franc is super ripe thanks to a warm 2015, and the sweetness of fruit leaves me wondering how this wine will be received. Many will love its hedonistic black fruit demeanour, flecked in licorice and dried herbs, with slightly grippy tannins versus more of a meaty, mineral affair with red fruits that we see in cooler years. Long, warm, and peppery, this is a monster red that is best suited to similar menu items like a leg of lamb or venison. Drink or hold depending on your preference.
2019 Windrush Estate Winery Jonathan Boyle Classic Cabernet Franc, Hockley Valley, St. David's Bench, Niagara, Ontario
London Wine Competition 2021, Silver Medal, 87 points
A smooth and delicate wine with a nose of violets and rose water. A little dusty palate with notes of cherry, cranberry and a hint of rosemary syrup. Structured with hints of cedar and oak. Can age for two years.
