Cave Spring’s first cabernet franc joins the
growing number of Niagara cab francs with elegance, nuance and lovely raspberry ripe-
ness, a welcome evolution from the region’s
tendency to produce overly green, alcoholic
and oaked examples. Cellar until 2010, then enjoy with herbed roast poultry or pork.
