It's Cabernet Franc from Prince Edward County,
and it is really good Cabernet Franc from the County
Lighthall Vineyards 2020 Cabernet Franc
... WRITTEN REVIEW ...
This Cabernet Franc was made in a similar fashion to Lighthall’s 2020 Merlot: 12 months in 75% new oak, but it took very differently to its temporary wooden home. The fruit proves to be dark fruit in nature and also has tobacco and smoke with some bittersweet chocolate on the finish. There's also some pretty hearty tannins, but the fruit is still very much present, some sips later and it feels like it’s just taking a nap in the background. Give this one three to five years to settle down, then pop the cork and enjoy. (****+)
