Several American winemakers have begun embracing Cabernet Franc in a new light and are producing still white offerings. One of these offerings comes from Cody Kresta Vineyard in Michigan. The 2021 White Cabernet Franc has the variety’s telltale pepperiness and lively acidity; however, this is where its similarities to Red Cabernet Franc end. It is incredibly fresh and fragrant with white plum, lemon rind, and white nectarine flavors. This is the easy drinking wine you don’t want to miss this summer.
