Steele Wines, Lake County (California) Cabernet Franc 2015

 If ever a wine seemed made for lasagna this might be the one.  The wine has just the right amount of acidity to embrace lasagna’s tomato-based sauce and exactly the appropriate degree of fruit to echo all that deliciously cheesy richness and texture the lasagna offers.  Of course lasagna isn’t the only thing that’s a great match for Steele’s Cabernet Franc — try it with spaghetti and meat balls, spaghetti marinara, or for that matter any pasta with tomato sauce.  And if the dish you’re serving includes mushrooms that’s a further plus as the wine’s undercurrent of earthiness is sure to embrace any fungi.
