Named 'The Socialist Red', this Cabernet Franc was the result of many hands pitching in to help winemaker Matthew Atallah during vintage when he tore a muscle in his shoulder days prior to the heavy lifting. How good is it when the community rallies around their mates!
Smart wine this. It's juicy with a delicious drive. It sees 43 days on skins and was inspired by Atallah's love of the Loire Valley. Medium-bodied, there is a Dark Cherry Ripe thing going on along with the expected black fruits. Dried strawberries add pretty aromas and mouth perfume too. Wonderfully weighted, its silky texture is gravitating. Great stuff.
Drink to five years.
