The Story
Kobayashiâs Cabernet Franc 2022 is a striking expression of the grapeâripe and generous, but lifted and savory, too. Sourced from top vineyard sites in Washington State, itâs fermented with native yeasts and aged in mostly neutral barrels, allowing the spice, herbs, and dark fruit to shine without oak getting in the way.
Expect notes of black raspberry, green peppercorn, crushed violets, and graphite, with fine-grained tannins and lively acidity. Itâs Cab Franc that feels both clean and wildâno excess, just clarity, energy, and soul.
Drink it slightly cool with grilled meats, lentils, or mushroom-heavy dishes. A perfect bottle for lovers of Loire reds who want a little more fruit, or Napa fans looking for something more detailed.
