About This Wine


Masterworks Series

Cabernet Franc

Much like fine painters, (take the artist Alphonse Mucha whose artwork graces this bottle for instance) winemakers hone their craft over an entire lifetime. Mucha continued to evolve throughout his career and some of his final works were among his best. Also like Mucha, this is a wine that evolves. With bright fruit and punchy tannins, it really opens up with artful pairings. We have loved it with grilled and roasted meats like burgers, steak, or even lamb gyros, but it also works wonderfully with a piece of firm goat cheese and roasted mushrooms. Judges love it too! It took home a Silver medal at the 2020 Winemaker Challenge.

Wine Region


France

While it was not the first country to master winemaking, no other country has determined the course of wine and wine culture as much as France. From the sparkling wines of Champagne to the Pinot Noir and Chardonnay of Burgundy; from Bordeaux's sumptuous blends to Alsace's Riesling; and from the Loire Valley's Sauvignon Blancs to exciting new regions like Pays d'Oc in the south, France has given the world nearly all the major styles and grape varieties that dominate what we drink today. There are numerous reasons why France and wine are so inextricably linked, but perhaps the foremost is geography. Few places can rival France's unique array of hot and cool-climate regions and the abundant maritime influences and mountainous terrain found throughout the country.

Tasting Notes

  • A figure representing the Licorice tasting note. Licorice
  • A figure representing the Spices tasting note. Spices

This wine is a beautiful expression of Cabernet Franc with notes of black cherry, licorice, and spices. The winemakers used warm fermentation to preserve the primary fruit characteristics and how much tannin came from the grapes.
