Abstract

Chemical and descriptive sensory analysis was conducted on nine (2005) and eight (2006) experimental Niagara Peninsula Cabernet franc wines to illustrate differences that might support the subappellation system in Niagara. Twelve trained judges evaluated six aroma and flavor (red fruit, black cherry, black currant, black pepper, bell pepper, and green bean) and three mouthfeel (astringency, bitterness, and acidity) sensory attributes plus color intensity. Data were analyzed using analysis of variance (ANOVA), principal component analysis (PCA), and discriminant analysis. ANOVA of sensory data showed regional differences for all sensory attributes. In 2005, wines from Château des Charmes (CDC), Henry of Pelham (HOP), and Hernder sites showed highest red fruit aroma and flavor. Wines from Lakeshore and Niagara River sites (Harbour, Reif, George, and Buis) showed higher bell pepper and green bean aroma and flavor due to the cool growing conditions in proximity to the large bodies of water. In 2006, all sensory attributes except black pepper aroma were different. PCA revealed that wines from HOP and CDC sites were higher in red fruit, black currant, and black cherry aroma and flavor, and black pepper flavor, while wines from Hernder, Morrison, and George sites were high in green bean aroma and flavor. Buis wines were high in bell pepper aroma and flavor and acidity due to cooler conditions within the proximity of Lake Ontario. ANOVA of chemical data in 2005 indicated that hue, color intensity, and titratable acidity were different across the sites, while in 2006, hue, color intensity, and ethanol were different. These data indicate that there is the likelihood of substantial chemical and sensory differences between clusters of subappellations within the Niagara Peninsula.
