Unfortunately
there was no information posted on this wine from the winery web site. This
wine did manage to score a gold medal at the Wine Access 2012 Canadian Wine
Awards in the Cabernet Franc category and a top five finish in the red wine of
the year category.
This wine
opened up with aromas of red and black fruit, vanilla, savoury spices and sweet
oak. On the mouthfeel, medium bodied, flavourful, quit luscious with flavours
of blackcurrant, stewed plum and tobacco leaf, noticeable acidity and fine well
integrated tannins. Crushed ripe wild berries explode on this wine and a very
smooth finish. While this wine may not be very typical of a Cabernet Franc in
my view, in this very warm 2010 vintage, Inniskillin managed to make a very
flavourful wine. Strongly recommended, score 89 points.
