Dancing Swallows Vineyard

2016 “C Squared“ Cabernet

2016 “C Squared“ Cabernet

Our classic 'gourmet dinner' red

What the wines from Essex County have is ripeness.  We’re the warmest part of Ontario, with longest growing season. Lake Erie stays warm late into the fall letting us give the grapes a long ‘hang time’.  This means our Cabernets (Franc and its offspring Sauvignon) achieve a ripeness that is the envy of the rest of Ontario, while keeping the acidic backbone of a great dinner wine.  

In our C2 blend the Cabernet Franc and Cabernet Sauvignon add to something more than the sum of their parts: an elegant, fruit forward red, perfect for beef and lamb. We wanted ripeness but also some backbone to pair with dinner, and we got it.  

2016 may seem like an ‘old wine’ for those who buy at the liquor store, but serious red wines need time to come together, and C2 is just hitting its peak.

Food Pairing

If you’re like us you love great steak, perfectly marinated, and barbequed to just the right ‘doneness’. Or a slow cooked roast of beef. Given the price of beef these days, isn’t it worth it to serve a wine that pairs perfectly? With its mature tannins and moderate alcohol, our C Squared Cabernet is what you need. (P.S. It also kills with a great rack of lamb.)
