Here’s a terrific $30 red. But it’s not for everyone. Strewn 07 Cabernet Franc is crafted in a very dry style of traditional Bordeaux or Chianti. Rustic and gutsy, as opposed to rich and smooth. A classic food partner for roasted or grilled meats ““ working harder to flatter food more than you. Suggests a little formality. Maybe decant.
Strewn produced several other $30 reds from the 07 vintage but none have the assured quality of the Cab Franc. Which is Ontario wine at its finest ““ a bit reserved and more dinner table than party time.
Strewn 07 Cabernet Franc, VQA Niagara only at the winery $32
