Cabernet Franc
Our 2022 Cabernet Franc is a beautiful expression of how the variety can perform in a cool climate. Aromas of cherry, dried cranberry, and bracken jump from the glass, supported by subtle oak and hints of vanilla. Bright and lively on the palate, the notes of cherry and cranberry continue, wrapped in delicate tannin and evolving into a warm, lingering finish. This wine would be delicious with roast white meats, grilled summer squash, and hard cheeses.
