Sultry Cabernet Franc 2023
Few varieties on Earth are as recognizable as Cabernet Franc.
With its fine texture, its mid-level depth and pungency there are very few bottled as single varietals as we have done with Sultry which pairs beautifully with herb-crusted lamb, grilled vegetables, or charcuterie, where it complements savory preparations.
The nose is stunning! It has an abundance of elegant red and dark fruit aromas including raspberry, blackcurrant, and plum with floral elements like violet and rose petals and subtle spice notes of black pepper and dried herbs.
In the mouth Sultry shows medium body with elegant structure, bright acidity that provides freshness and softer, more refined tannins compared to Cabernet Sauvignon.
There are flavors of red cherry, raspberry, and blackberry with secondary flavors of a mineral quality, full, rich and satisfying and just to make things interesting, a hint of herbal and mineral notes that add a beautiful complexity to its profile.
A drop dead gorgeous wine with amazing intensity and purity of aromas Sultry is a fine-toned, red-fruited wine built on poise, not power.
