Product Notes

The Stratus Cabernet Franc wine emanates from the prestigious Canadian vineyard and prides itself on exquisite refinement. It's a rich, full-bodied wine, exhibits splashes of swirled scarlet hues displaying intense aromatics of ripe blackcurrants, cherries, and hints of earthy undertones. With a backdrop of oak, it surprises the palate with vivacious notes of blackberries, plums, toasted spices, and bell peppers. Its well-integrated tannins, ample acidity and long, lingering finish make it an elegant yet deeply expressive glass of wine. Pair this decadent drink with sumptuous roasts or blue cheese to utterly savour its robust flavours. Overall, a spectacular representation of Canadian viticulture.
