For dessert Chris and Jan made a hazelnut chocolate cake that they jokingly called “Ferrero Rocher” cake. This was paired with a 2008 “Snow Angel” Cabernet Franc Ice wine by Angel’s Gate winery.
The nose on the “Snow Angel” Cabernet Franc was just like the aroma you get opening a bag of licorice allsorts. Tasting the wine, you will find mango, raisin, cranberry and candied apple flavours that finish with spice overtones. I liked this wine as a pairing for the cake but did find it was a little cloying at times and wished for a bit more acidity to help balance out the sweetness of the wine.
Here is the group rating for the wine –Mick – 88, Mark – 87, Kathy – 87, Amy – 87, Overall – 87.25.
I liked the “Ferrero Rocher” cake as it was rich but not overly heavy and I was starting to get quite full at this point.
