Do the wines of Niagara have the potential to age? Derek Barnett’s wines confirm that they can. With 6 years under its belt, this 2016 Cabernet Franc it is still very much alive. Time in bottle has developed a complex nose with highlights of cherry, strawberry and fresh herb accompanied by notes of licorice, floral and vanilla. The palate also offers the classic reauvigd and green profile expected from this variety, with flavours of raspberry, red currant, rhubarb and spearmint. 10 barrels produced. 2023-2026–LW
