PRODUCT OVERVIEW/REVIEW:
Cabernet franc is the magnificent multitasking hero of France's wine industry. It is the father of cabernet sauvignon - that's right, cabernet franc hooked up with sauvignon blanc to make the world's most prestigious red grape. It is a key supporting player in Bordeaux, providing plush red fruit characters to the region's red wines. In the Loire Valley, it is the varietal featured in the supple and elegant reds of Chinon and Anjou-Saumur.
Those silky Loire beauties captured the attention of Tracey and John Skupny, two California wine professionals who yearned to establish a winery and work with this under-appreciated yet transcendent varietal.
After discovering and developing an appreciation for Napa Valley wines that utilized cabernet franc for its range of aromatics and flavors, they decided to settle there and make this underdog the star of their portfolio. The 2020 Lang & Reed Cabernet Franc is their benchmark wine that was instrumental in putting California Cab Franc on the world wine map - AND, AS ALWAYS, IT ROCKS!
The grapes for the 2020 Lang & Reed Cabernet Franc are sourced from vineyards in the Sierra Foothills, Sonoma's Alexander Valley, and the winery's vineyards in the Napa Valley. The variety of soil types and climates create fruit with varying characteristics and brings forth a wine that is complex and well-balanced.
The 2020 Lang & Reed Cabernet Franc has aromas of red fruits laced with violets and baking spices. The palate is rich, full, and smooth, with flavors of black cherries, cranberries, and pomegranates along with hints of anise and wet stone. Juicy acidity gives the wine lift and brings it to a long finish.
