2023 La Famiglia Cabernet Franc
Ah my darling, from vines I lovingly tend by hand all year long - the nose displays the delicate, perfumed aroma of Hood strawberries and ripe blueberries lifted by sweet violets, leaning more earthy than fruity - for 23 you can smell the warmth of the vintage, richly satisfying like a warm summer morning. On the palate, she's deep, bright and full-bodied - exhibiting power and elegance with a long textured finish. I'm pairing this summer beauty with olive Puttanesca pasta!
