I’ve been a fan of Anna Marie Dos Remedios’ Cabernet Franc for several vintages now – she’s great at letting the grape’s green character play a role without overwhelming the beautiful red fruit. This vintage delivers again, with lively acidity, medium weight and oak spice that complements the cherry and pepper nicely. You could pair this with a full spectrum of meats, from light to dark, and be satisfied.
