The 2020 'Hedonism' Cabernet Franc from Trail Estate Winery is a bold and expressive red, showcasing the exceptional quality of Ontario's Twenty Mile Bench. Crafted from fruit grown in the Wingfield Vineyard, this wine underwent natural fermentation for three weeks before aging for 19 months in a combination of 30% new and 70% neutral oak barrels (70% French, 30% Hungarian). Minimal sulphur was added after 17 months in oak.
On the nose, it offers saturated cherries, black currants, anise, black raspberries, subtle herbs, leather, toasted vanilla spices, and a hint of pepper. The palate is structured with fine tannins and reveals a ripe, dense core of red berries, cassis, and black currants, complemented by toasted vanilla spice and a long, lifted finish. This wine is best enjoyed between 2026 and 2033.
