Colio Estate Vineyards Cabernet Franc Cev Reserve

What a total and utter disappointment this wine was: 2007 was a hot vintage, and while you could see there was a fruit core at one point, but the pruny and oxidative notes that wafted up from the glass killed off anything else that might be positive about this wine

sealed under plastic and it showed undertones of oxidation, a little balsamic raspberry, and funky harshness - it was totally unpleasant and certainly not the exciting wine I was hoping for

The alcohol on the finish is out of balance and overpowering the fruit which may be dried up

- Ruby color with medium forming legs and aromas of raisin and cedar and has flavours of cherry with a medium finish - Opened after wine tasting in southern Ontario.
