Sweet Cabernet Franc may sound strange, but in Inniskillin’s hands it’s amazing. The green-herb notes common to the variety read as peppery spice; the fruit flavours bring to mind sweet red raspberries and tangy rhubarb pie. It’s sweet but not too, with vibrant acidity and that Cab Franc grape-skin spice. And this is one of the rare wines that really does complement chocolate desserts, from birthday cake to mousse.

This aromatic dessert white boasts white truffle–, dried pineapple– and apricot-infused aromas and flavors of caramel, caraway and apple pie. Though sweet, this is backed by vivid acidity that drives the long finish. Drink now through 2035.

Dip a Golden Delicious apple slice in caramel to get an idea of how fabulous this wine smells. Additional aromas include peach, orange and ginger. Flavors like graham crackers slathered in guava icing, honeycomb and peach glide along a soft, thick palate. The acidity is on the soft side, but the “yum factor” is high.
