Cakebread Cellars Cabernet Franc 2021 (750ml)

Cakebread Cellars' 2021 Cabernet Franc comes from Napa Valley, where the varietal ripens fully and takes on a riper, more voluptuous character than its leaner expressions elsewhere. This is a straight varietal wine, not a blend, which lets you see what the producer is doing with the fruit alone.

Cabernet Franc typically shows bright red-fruit flavors and a spicy, peppery edge, and this vintage should deliver those signatures alongside the ripe berry character that Napa's climate tends to encourage. It's a wine that rewards drinking now, while the fruit is in its prime.
