13th street winery Expression Cabernet Franc Rosé 2021
Niagara Peninsula, Ontario, Canada
Predominantly Cabernet Franc (94% Cabernet Franc, 6% Pinot Noir). They add a touch of Pinot Noir for brightness and complexity. A portion of the proceeds helps to support Canadian artists.
Brilliant magenta pink in the glass with intense aromas of wild red berries, watermelon, pink peppercorn, lemon pith, rhubarb, grass and roasted bell peppers.
Oh so refreshing acidity meets juicy tart flavors of bright raspberry& strawberry, red cherry, watermelon, blood orange and tangerine and a hum of pink peppercorns. The freshness and 12% abv made this wine a double banger while north of the border.
Pair with vegetarian samosas as we did with grilled black bean burgers, roasted poblano mushroom tacos or herbed grilled tuna steaks.
A special thanks to the Brockville Fire department (who were in the area doing routine inspections) for joining in on the fun with some photos and a quick lesson on 13th Street and their lovely rosé 😂
