"DATE: 08-27-07 Appearance: Garnet with brick at the rim.
Nose: Earthy/light oak with peppers, cherry, raspberry and chocolate.
Palate: Dry with good acidity, midweight. Palate is a little less complex than the nose (youth?). Some silkiness midpalate, with dusty tannins on the good clean finish.
Conclusions: Nice blend is relatively easy-drinking, and should age well for up to three years. Good general food-worthiness..." lfw

Man that's one big bottle!!FOOD MATCHES: Chef Franklin said "full of berry, ideal with lighter game meats, especially birds. Crispy confit of duck crowning good spaetzle, sausages of game and pork starring on a charcuterie platter."

FROM THE PRODUCERS:" VQA wine. Red Cab™ is created from varieties that grow well in our cool climate—Cabernet Franc and Gamay. It is Gamay that gives the wine its appealing colour and Cabernet Franc that releases aromas of raspberry and bell pepper. The result is a medium-bodied red that is firm and rich on the palate with flavours of black cherry and blackberry with some hints of spice and tobacco."
