Found April 2011
As I sit at my desk to write this unfortunate review I can think of only one word to describe this wine: sinister. I was at a get together with friends who appreciate Ontario wines and I thought this would be an interesting wine to try. Here's why: A few years back I held a Cabernet Franc Challenge and this wine was one of those wines that ended up in the bottom tier of the judging, I set it aside in the hopes that it would come around (after all it was one of the youngest Francs in the competition and the producer usually makes good product). As it turned out my hope was for not. This wine was nasty from the get go and now 5 years from Vintage date it has no redeeming qualities to it whatsoever. Words around the room used to describe it were "bitter", "nasty", "cough syrup", "weird" and "not even good enough for salad". I don't know what else I can say after that except if you happen to have any of this wine in your cellar (as I did) you might want to take the bottles directly to the sink, do not pass go because you will definitely not collect 200 dollars ... pour it down, my friends, pour it down.
