WTN: Strewn Cabernet Franc-Cabernet Sauvignon 2006

Niagara Peninsula.

Light cherry red in the glass.

Earthy, bitter notes on the nose.

Medium bodied, cherry and raspberry fruit, spicy, viscous, good acidity, refreshing, with a mild bitter streak.

A tangy finish.

Not a great wine, but certainly not the worst I have had. The 2006 vintage in Ontario was pretty bad for red wine, so I was taking a chance when I purchased this. Will try this again when the 2007 (a better vintage, I am told) comes out.

Purchased at $12.95 (Canadian).
