Product Details
Ever since 13th Street began producing their entry-level Cabernet Franc using 100% stainless steel, I have been a big fan of this wine. Winemaker and French-native Jean-Pierre Colas "gets" Cabernet Franc in this style, and I think the 2023 vintage that was just recently released is their best yet. This is a plush, juicy, Loire-inspired Cabernet Franc. Classic, fruit-forward with just the right amount of soft herbal undertones (basil, tarragon) peeking through the fleshy berried fruits. Delicately spiced on the palate, it is lively, approachable, with velvety tannins, with superb concentration and length at this price point. This ticks all the boxes for me.
