2022 Cabernet Franc [clone 214]
2022 Cabernet Franc [clone 214]
There’s a reason this varietal stands out with the ‘can’t keep it around, cult status’ every year. This particular varietal, in this particularly warm vintage, has created a dark and brooding drink with splashes of chocolate covered cherries and pools of sassafras and cola. Don’t let any of that initial flavor burst fool you into missing the absolute pure expression of varietal fruit character that lifts from the darkness in a cascade of mouthwatering acidity and super fine tannins all brought seamlessly together by Ramiro’s custom Cab Franc barrel toast. A stunning and beautiful beast of a wine, bar none.
