With so much Cabernet Sauvignon being crafted in a way that eliminates any sort of green character, it’s good to know that such character can still be found in bottles labeled as Cabernet Franc. There are certain herb-driven meat preps that just cry out for a little bit of the garden in the glass, and this offering from Cerebella – a new player to me – will get your cerebellum firing about pairing possibilities. The green elements are well folded without being erased, and they linger through a long finish. Nice!
