This California Cabernet Franc is a beautifully balanced wine, offering an intriguing mix of bold flavors and bright acidity. On the nose, it opens with aromas of ripe red bell pepper, black currant, and subtle notes of cedar and dried herbs. The palate is medium-bodied, showcasing flavors of fresh plum, raspberry, and a hint of earthiness, complemented by silky tannins and a touch of spice. With a long, smooth finish, it’s a versatile wine that pairs wonderfully with grilled meats, roasted vegetables, or a rich charcuterie board. The California sunshine adds a ripeness that enhances the classic elegance of this Cabernet Franc, making it a standout choice for both rich meals and cold nights.
