Cool air cultivates precision, refining intensity into focused grace.
In Niagara's lake-cooled vineyards, cool air and shifting temperatures preserve what warmth would soften. The Great Lakes hold the cold long into spring and carry it through the vines all summer. Cabernet Franc finds its finest expression here, delicate in structure, precise in character, and shaped by airflow into something aromatic, fresh, and beautifully defined. Aria doesn’t demand your attention. It earns every note, quietly and elegantly, with every sip.
Tasting Notes
Bright raspberry and black cherry on the nose with a delicate hint of vanilla. Medium-bodied and precise on the palate, with fresh acidity, gentle tannins, and a finish as cool and clear as the air that shaped it.
Food Pairing
Cabernet Franc finds its match in fresh, herb-forward cooking. Serve alongside herb-crusted pork chops with lemon-dressed green beans or a light pasta with olive oil and fresh herbs.
