Alexander Valley Vineyards 2023 Cabernet Franc

Tasting Notes

The 2023 Alexander Valley Vineyards Cabernet Franc opens with expressive aromas of cherry, plum, blueberry, vanilla, and a subtle hint of licorice, leading into a palate layered with juicy cassis, black cherry, plum, blueberry, and gentle oak tones that contribute to its silky texture and long, structured finish. The wine’s balanced acidity and ripe fruit profile—shaped by a long, cool growing season and extended hang time—give it both freshness and depth, making it an elegant yet approachable expression of Cabernet Franc. It pairs beautifully with grilled or roasted red meats, tomato‑based dishes, and a range of cheeses including feta, goat cheese, brie, blue cheese, and aged cheddar, each complementing the wine’s aromatic lift and supple mouthfeel.
