Lieu Dit Winery Cabernet Franc 2019 Review
A true expression of this grape in California. Smells like peppers and cooking herbs (think: tarragon or rosemary). The palate has a pleasant medium weight, with meaty, chewy fruit. This is a great American Cab Franc. Roast up some chicken, stuff it with goat cheese, and sip this peppery awesomeness.
