Gamling & McDuck’s 2017 Pickberry Cabernet Franc from Sonoma Mountain is strikingly Loire Valley-esque in profile. On the nose, scents of roses, violets, and bright cherries meet a succulent herbaceousness. The mix of the red fruit and earthy notes carries through to the palate, complimented by firm acidity. Approachable now, this wine will continue to age gracefully for years to come.
