Tasting Notes
The 2022 St. Jean Vineyard Cabernet Franc is a dark, concentrated wine. On the nose, black raspberry, cherry, and floral notes swirl among accents of spice. The palate offers dense black raspberry and black cherry flavors, with dried strawberry and black pepper. Velvety tannins contribute to the medium-body, providing nice structure. A subtle savory character is present on the finish. Pair with Cypress Grove Humboldt Fog cheese with toasted baguette or roasted mushroom cream sauce with pappardelle.
