The 2023 Cabernet Franc Nutt Road Vineyard is a pure, varietally correct wine with loads of leather, tobacco, raspberry and strawberry. Done entirely in stainless steel, the 2023 is built on freshness. Intended to be a “bistro red,” it manages to be accessible without betraying its Cabernet Franc-ness. I admire the balance of light texture, chalky tannins and bright crunchy fruit. It's just a hair austere on the finish, but the fruit is of solid quality. (Billy Norris)
