After 12 months of aging in mostly neutral French oak barrels, on the nose you’ll discover aromas of plum, dark cherry, and stewed strawberries clearly announcing a high percentage of Cabernet Franc. The palate delivers a well-layered and fruity profile with soft tannins, and a rich  full-bodied palate, alongside a surprisingly long extra-dry finish. Dominant flavours of dark plum, dark cherry,  red plum and strawberry compote, followed with a hint of vanilla bean, finishing with a velvety and smooth mouthfeel that is supported by a small percentage of our Malbec and Merlot.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAs in other vintages, don’t let the fun name fool you: this is a serious wine from the Four Mile Creek sub-appellation…or as we refer to it: Cabernet Country! \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAging Potential:\u003c\/strong\u003e Enjoy now or keep in your cellar for 2+ years \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eFood Pairing:\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/b\u003eA beef and cheese lasagna or a barbecue bacon burger!\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWine Information:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAppellation: Niagara-on-the-Lake\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAlcohol: 14.5%\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Bella Terra Vineyards","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50005366538380,"sku":"BT-R-CTF-S-ZZ-00750-24-2026.2282","price":24.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0386\/6158\/7084\/files\/CalmtheFrancDown.png?v=1762968561","url":"https:\/\/bellaterravineyards.ca\/products\/2024-calm-the-franc-down","provider":"Bella Terra Vineyards","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
