2016 Meldville Cabernet Franc
The beautiful harvest of 2016 produced some amazing wines. A good growing season followed by a fall that was warm and long, allowing the grapes to ripen to perfection. Grapes grown in the Lincoln Lakeshore sub appellation producing wines of elegance with powerful flavours.
TASTING NOTES: Deep rich red colour with aromas of red and black raspberries and ripe red plum with just a hint of black olive and earthy notes. The palate has good texture with ripe dark fruit, black peppercorns with earth tones and then finishes with a hint of dark chocolate. Good structure and nice balance of tannin and acidity, this wine will age nicely over the next 3- 5 years in the cellar.
