It isn't every day I find a wine I want to marry. In fact, I like to pride myself on the fact that I'm a bit of a wine whore. I like to try things out, am never too loyal, and don't like to commit to any one bottle or varietal.
However, I would never have thought that a Cabernet Franc would have stole my heart. I would have guessed a complex Pinot or Robust Cab Sauv would have swept me off my feet and lead me into a lifetime of happiness.But I was wrong.
I have acquired a passion and a hot love affair with Black Prince Cabernet Franc (a young one, it is only a 2007, but not the type of young you have to teach things too). It tastes of dark chocolate and rich soil (and really who doesn't like rich and handsome!). It has a great finish, a sexy body and had me salivating for another glass. I honestly loved every sip of it and will be sad when my bottle is gone. This may turn into a little bit of Prince addiction.
After drinking a few glasses I was hoping that somewhere in my house I had a few cases of it that would last me into my lifetime. What can I say, I have fallen for the county. The Prince, of Prince Edward County. Who would have ever of thought that me, ange aiello, would have fallen for a prince... and for less than $16 a bottle the money I save per bottle could be used to buy myself jewelry (my own engagement ring) and a trip to the Bahamas (my honeymoon).
This wine is a must try, a must buy and one of my favourite reds from Ontario I have ever tried. I may have had to kiss a few green frogs to get here, but I may very well have found my Prince Charming.
