IMPRESSIVE - Ravine Vineyard 2020 Cabernet Franc Lonna's Block (Canada)

Let's talk about a single vineyard, single block version of Cabernet Franc 

from Ontario, Canada: 

Ravine Vineyard 

2020 Cabernet Franc - Lonna's Block

 

 

Written Review ... This is one of two single named blocks Cabernet Franc wines from Ravine in 2020- I know we're not allowed to use the words masculine and feminine to describe wines anymore; but this would be the y chromosome wine... It has the defining qualities that one would give to a person of that ilk. It's starts earthy, smoky and tobacco laced on the nose; but the pallet delivers on dark fruit, black raspberry and black cherry along with firm tannins, and a waitier firm structured length of finish. This is a punch in the mouth of flavor.
