Cosentino Winery Cabernet Franc The Franc 2016

Composition: 
100% Cabernet Franc

Tasting Notes:
Deep crimson in color with sweet and spicy notes of fresh herbs and cloves on the nose. On the palate, intense flavors of fruit with hints of black pepper on the palate. Ends with great structure and long finish.

Winemaking Notes:
The grapes for THE Franc were hand-harvested in Lodi, an AVA known to benefit from the cooling Delta influence. The 2016 harvest was notably even and steady, providing balanced yields of quality fruit, allowing us to craft a wine with both freshness and depth of fruit; perfect to enjoy now, no further cellaring required.

Food Pairing:
Pairs with just about anything off the BBQ – for an elegant touch, try with roast duck with juniper berry compote.
