Cabernet Franc
Gran Enemigo 2017 Gualtallary Cabernet Franc
$129.99Blackberry and black cherry lead with violet, thyme and eucalyptus. The palate is concentrated yet energetic, layering red plum and juicy cherry over chalky tannins and lively acidity. Sweet spice, black pepper and a subtle leafy note add savoury definition without hardening the fruit. The finish is long and mineral, leaving graphite, herbs, dark fruit and finely drawn tannin.
Chateau du Hureau 2018 Saumur-Champigny Les Fevettes
$67.99Rich red-cherry in colour, with refined fruit, mulberry, dusky plum, perfumed cassis and dried violet on the nose. The palate is well balanced and seriously structured, combining red and black fruit with warm spice and savoury depth. Silky, fine-grained tannins shape the wine before a smooth, precise and very long finish.
Free Form 2019 Cabernet Franc
$50.99Bold and complex, this Cabernet Franc layers dark plum and blackberry over smoke, mocha and classic herbal notes. The palate turns juicy with red fruit, supported by excellent structure and a fresh, mouthwatering finish. Concrete ageing keeps the fruit direct while spontaneous fermentation adds an unforced character. Pair with roasted game, grilled portobello mushrooms or a slow-cooked beef stew.
Niche 2022 Extra Mile Cabernet Franc
$49.99Ripe red fruit leads, joined by savoury herbs and a fine peppery, earthy edge. The palate is medium-bodied and mouthwatering, with measured oak adding polish without crowding the fruit. Balanced, versatile and easy to enjoy, it has enough savoury depth for tomato-braised dishes, grilled vegetables, herb-roasted pork, lentils or mushrooms finished with a bright vinaigrette.
Rigour And Whimsy 2022 A Love We All Drm
$48.99A fragrant, finely structured red with dark plum and wild blackberry, lifted by iris and scrubby herbs. The palate is slender and energetic, with black tea, crushed stone and a firm, fine-grained grip giving definition to the fruit. Savoury and mineral on the finish, it is best served with roast poultry, grilled mushrooms or herb-seasoned pork.
Rust Wine Co. 2023 Cabernet Franc Lost Horn Vineyard
$34.99Bright primary fruit leads a fresh, vibrant red shaped more by lift than weight. Whole-berry fermentation keeps the profile juicy and immediate, while a lighter frame brings refreshing balance without sacrificing complexity. Smooth enough to enjoy with a slight chill, it finishes clean and energetic. Serve with grilled poultry, charcuterie or lighter summer fare.
The Hatch 2021 Screaming Frenzy Cabernet Franc
$32.99Cabernet Franc opens with dried cherry, roasted almond and vanilla, followed by stewed plum and mulling spice. Thirty-six months in neutral oak round the texture without masking the fruit. The finish is composed and gently spiced, with mature dark-fruit depth held in a supple, generous frame.
