Outward Wines Massa Vineyard Cabernet Franc 2023 Review
This Cabernet Franc from Carmel Valley's high-elevation Massa Vineyard is for the pyrazine lover. It pops out of the glass with notes of jalapeño, cilantro, tomato leaf, cranberries, and strawberries. The palate is wonderfully balanced between fruit and savory spice with a bright, refreshing acidity.
