Cabaret Frank No.2 Cabernet Franc Lodi California 2021
Cabaret Frank No.2 is a bold yet elegant expression of old-vine Cabernet Franc from the sun-drenched vineyards of Lodi, California. Crafted with 85% Cabernet Franc and a touch of Cabernet Sauvignon, this wine pays tribute to the varietal’s distinctive character while offering a smooth, approachable style. Aged for just two months in oak, it allows the purity of fruit and varietal typicity to shine through. Tasting Notes Expect bright aromas of juicy red fruits, blackberry, and plum, lifted by the hallmark blackcurrant leaf and herbal notes of Cabernet Franc. The palate is medium-bodied, smooth, and well-balanced, with dark cherry and subtle leafy tones leading into a fresh, refined finish. Food Pairing An exceptionally versatile food wine, Cabaret Frank pairs beautifully with vegetarian dishes such as grilled aubergine, courgette, or tomato-based meals. It also complements poultry like turkey or chicken, flavourful game such as duck, and rich beef dishes like steak or veal. Its herbal notes make it a natural match for recipes featuring sage, thyme, rosemary, or saffron. Grape Variety 85% Cabernet Franc, 15% Cabernet Sauvignon
