RKS 2025 CANADIAN Wine: Featherstone’s Gemstone

Posted byRobert K Stephen (CSW)Posted inFood, WineTags:, , , , ,

As for price and quality Featherstone Estate Winery consistently delivers gems! This wine is a Cabernet Franc and Merlot blend.

Aroma: Black cherry, blackberry, cocoa, raspberry, lavender and plum.

Palate: Plummy with dark fruit. It is on the after palate that the fruit and tannin makes a more forceful appearance with heavy duty blackberry, frisky raspberry and cassis. Medium length finish.

Personality: Just because I have the eminent Featherstone pedigree, I hopefully have convinced you with the quality in your glass.

Food Match: Pork tenderloin medallions in Lingonberry Sauce.

Cellarbility: Consume by 2027-year end. One might expect more softness with age.

Price: $17.95 CDN.

RKS 2025 CANADIAN Wine Rating: 91/100. Natalie MacLean community score 89. Wine Align community score 86.
