Sam brought this wine back from Virginia last summer. She visited the Rappahannock Winery on a trip to DC, and, as she put it, it was the one that turned her palate off the least, so she knew I would like it.
She was right. I love it. It’s mostly a Cabernet Franc grape, with a bit of Malbec. It’s a beautifully balanced drier wine, without making your mouth pucker up and pray for a glass of water.
I first had it at my family’s house on Cape Cod, on a cool summer Labor Day weekend evening. No food with it, just a nice round glass of it.
Since then, I’ve ordered three bottles and gone through two. It’s not available where I live, so I’ve been rationing it, but I plan on ordering a case of it in the near future.
