Colio Estate Wines
Bricklayer's Reward Old Farm Cabernet Franc 2012
$19.95
$24.94
The vines for this wine are 36+ years old and thus have earned their stripes in the rugged Lake Erie North Shore. This Bricklayer's Reward takes over from the CEV Reserve line of wines at Colio - and it deserves to be there. Nose screams smoky raspberry, cassis and blackberry nicely spiced with sprinkles of white pepper, on the palate it is black cherry and cassis. Nice tannins and a good structure from front to back makes this wine a welcome addition to the Colio legacy. Score - 4+ Stars (out of 5). (Michael Pinkus, ontariowinereview.com, Dec. 2014)
