I don't usually love cab franc, but I really loved this one! It was this wine that I wish I had bought more of the day I tasted it and joined the wine club. It would be great with steak or lamb, and I look forward to drinking it in the future.

Gulp! I just noticed what I paid for two bottles with my spring shipment BUT it was worth every penny! Delicious!

This is a great red wine. One to be savored and enjoyed. We had it with a venison stew leftover and it upgraded our meal!

This Cab Franc is light but bold on flavor. Paired well with Turkey meatballs, zoodles with marinara sauce but I think it would pair with most anything. It’s well worth the price. I plan to cellar a bottle or two.
