Fresh and aromatic, the 2022 Kobau Vineyard Cabernet Franc opens with minted cherries, ripe strawberries, vanilla, red licorice nibs, and sage, creating an inviting and vibrant nose. The palate delivers on every promise, mirroring the aromatics with rich cherries, bright acidity, and a touch of black licorice, while meaty, pronounced tannins and a subtle spiciness add depth and structure. This Cabernet Franc is a natural match for pot-au-feu, charcuterie, chicken pot pie, and other deeply savory dishes, enhancing their richness with its bold yet balanced character.
