Red Wine

Back 10 Cellars Big Leap Cabernet Franc 2022, Lincoln Lakeshore, Niagara Peninsula, Ontario V.Q.A., Canada: Sourced from Cabernet Franc vineyards planted in rich red clay soils, this wine benefits from low yields and small berries, contributing to its intense concentration and depth. Expect bold flavours of dark fruit, cassis, raspberry, and blackberry, complemented by hints of cedar and tobacco. Its powerful profile and structure make it a great choice for ageing and the wine will continue to evolve in bottle. Try it with a steak from the grill or a rich gourmet burger. Cabernet Franc food pairings: grilled steaks, gourmet burgers, meat lovers pizza.
