2017 Methode Sauvage "Tierra Extraña" Cabernet Franc
2017 Methode Sauvage "Tierra Extraña" Cabernet Franc
Growing Cab Franc in a cool climate is old hat in France, but here in California, cool climate Franc is a stranger in a strange land. "Tierra Extraña" is a blend of coastal sites, teetering on the edge of ripeness for the varietal, where pepper and perfume are uninhibited by stewy extraction, but rather infused with vibrant red and blue fruit, and underpinned with an etheral earthiness. Enjoy by: drinking out of an enamel camping mug, watching a foggy sunset with something brothy.
