Wine Review March 1 – 2012 Featherstone Cabernet Franc – 2011 G. Marquis The Silver Line Chardonnay

2012 Featherstone Cabernet Franc – Vintages 64618 – $17.95 – Blackberry, Blueberry and Raspberry on the nose and palate.  A nice smoky finish that lingers with very firm tannin.  This wine will need some time in a decanter to soften and bring out some more of the fruit flavours.  This will pair well with rare roast beef, or lamb dishes. 

2011 G. Marquis The Silver Line Chardonnay – Vintages 258681 – $17.95 – We have had a fantastic trend of great value Chardonnay’s coming in under the twenty dollar mark.  Great balance of Apple and Peach wiht a kiss of smoke and toasty oak on the finish.  This is a great friday night sipper with no food pairing necessary.
