Description

A Wine Club 'Circle of Friends' exclusive!

Part of the 2017 Cab Ride Series (6 different wines total) highlighting the difference vineyard location (terroir) makes in wine. All wines in this series were vinified in the exact same way, leaving the difference that terroir makes in a wine to shine through. 
We work hard to create wines that delight the taste buds AND educate at the same time (hence the different wine series we provide).  We want you to be able to grow in your wine experience within our club.  We want you to enjoy being a wine insider with special knowledge!

Collect them all and taste for yourself- Van Bers, Briar Creek, Hunter Farms, Smith, Neumann, and Highland!

Naturally you have noticed that the 'Circle of Friends' front label for this series all look the same. These are all different wines. It is the back label that defines what wine is inside the bottle. If you look at the back label of these Circle of Friends labelled wines, you will read that they are all from different vineyards. So, please be sure to refer to the back label to know what wine you are enjoying.

The direct moderating effect from Lake Ontario on this vineyard can be recognized immediately. The wine shows an impressive array of mature, fully developed
summer berry, spiced dark chocolate and espresso. The seam of acid keeps this brooding wine bright and focused while the resolved tannin structure carries this complex wine all the way to the finish line. There is no doubt that this Cab Franc can go the distance as it bristles with energy held within its sinewy reserves.
