Cady 2023 Anjou Rouge (Cabernet Franc)

"The Domaine Cady 2022 Anjou Rouge is 100% Cabernet Franc from vines averaging 20 years of age, hand harvested. This wine, with a ruby-garnet color, reveals intense, very pretty aromas of red fruits. This Anjou will seduce you with its supple and round character as well as with its long, clean finish and silky tannins. It can age from 3 to 5 years." This is an outstanding value Cab Franc - it opens with a bit of earth that quickly blows off to reveal pretty red and blue fruit, some spice and subtle vegetal notes. Great acidity and enough tannic structure to hold up to red meats while still being enjoyable on its own, it's delicious served just below room temp and can be a versatile pairing option with anything from roasted chicken to beets and other vegetable dishes. Drink now and over the next five years.
