Grower's Blend Cabernet Franc, 2020
Shipped and sold by Tawse Winery
Made from select Cab Franc vineyards in Niagara. The Grower’s Blend Cab Franc from the 2020 vintage is ripe, rich and smooth due to the near-perfect growing conditions. Barrel aged for 16 months, this wine shows notes of blueberry, blackberry and cigar box characters.
Food Pairings: This rich and robust wine will be perfect for grilled meats such as burgers and steaks, charcuterie, pizzas or just all on its own.
The 2019 vintage was a featured wine in June's Wine Club package, 2022.
