Boutinot Portraits of America Cabernet Franc
£11.50
Rich and brooding fruit greets the palate. Dark, leafy, and generous with breadth and depth on the long finish. The grapes are harvested from 'old vines' (45 years) sourced from the single biggest Cabernet Franc vineyard in the world located in Lodi, Central California. The wine has spent just two months on oak to enable the true flavours and characters of the Cabernet Franc to shine through. Portraits of America is a range of classic Californian wines captured in classic and contemporary American art themes.
Ideal with vegetarian dishes such as grilled eggplant or zucchini, green peppers (capsicums), cabbage, or herbs (particularly sage, thyme, rosemary or saffron). A versatile wine that is also fantastic with tomato-based dishes; lighter meats such as turkey or chicken, along with game meats like duck; and richer beef-based dishes like steak or veal.
