FLAT ROCK RED TWISTED 6 VQA Niagara Peninsula ... single-vineyard Wismer sourced Cabernet Franc (60%) with single-vineyard Merlot (40%) from a parcel 500 meters away from the Flat Rock winery. The components were vinified separately, brought together and aged in a combination of French and American oak. It has a rich and savoury nose of brambly raspberries, dark cherries, black currants, anise, toasty vanilla and spices. With the ripe tannins on the palate adding structure, the melange of savoury red and dark berries shines through in spades, with a lovely splash of herbs [and] spices on a vibrant finish. Good value red blend chock full of personality. Score: 89 (Rick VanSickle, winesinniagara.com, Oct. 22, 2024) Medium-bodied & Fruity 86918 (XD) 750 ml $19.95 2 Featured in Canada Coast to Coast HENRY OF PELHAM ESTATE THE SMITH & SMITH GAMAY 6 VQA Short Hills Bench, Niagara Escarpment, sustainable This typically pale gamay is a fusion of oak flavours and ripe red fruit – plush red berries, dark cherries, and plums on the one hand and vanilla bean, nutmeg, cinnamon, on the other. In balance and flavourful, the medium-bodied palate shows supple tannins and lively acidity. Fresh red fruit and delicate herbal notes inter mingle on the finish. Harmonious and colourful, this gamay is best enjoyed over the next 2-3 years. Tasted July 2025. Score: 91 (Megha Jandhyala, winealign.com) Medium-bodied & Fruity 19903 (XD) 750 ml $21.95 2

CANADA £ RED WINE ONTARIO TH STREET CABERNET FRANC 6 VQA Niagara Peninsula

LAKEVIEW CABERNET SAUVIGNON 6 VQA Niagara Peninsula

... Winemaker and French-native Jean-Pierre Colas “gets” Cabernet Franc in this style, and I think the 2023 vintage that was just recently released is their best yet. This is a plush, juicy, Loire-inspired Cabernet Franc. Classic, fruit forward with just the right amount of soft herbal undertones (basil, tarragon) peeking through the fleshy berried fruits. Delicately spiced on the palate, it is lively, approachable, with velvety tannins, with superb concentration and length at this price point. This ticks all the boxes for me. (Allison Slute, winesinniagara.com, April 3, 2025) Medium-bodied & Fruity 50184 (XD) 750 ml $29.95 2

More wood here than any other in a flight of seven high level Canadian cabernet sauvignon. So much chocolate mint, oh mon dieu! Also herbals and longest chains of tannin. Drink 2026-2030. Tasted blind at NWACs, June 2025. Score: 92 (Michael Godel, winealign.com) Medium-bodied & Fruity 51653 (XD) 750 ml $21.95 2 Featured as our Wine of the Month
