Camp Cabernet Franc
Cabernet Franc
Sonoma County, California
USA
2013
$19.95
The newest label from
Kenny Likitprakong (Hobo, Folk Machine) highlights an affordable side of
Sonoma, and this effort from a mix of Alexander Valley and Dry Creek fruit is
just what it should be. The wine shows a big floral side, with lilies, uncured
tobacco and dark serrano chile attached to subtle raspberry fruit and a bright,
mildly tannic aspect. Not a Cabernet Franc for the ages, but one for right now
in a wonderfully Californian vein.
The biggest flavor I got from this wine was tart cranberry. Even on the nose, you could tell that the flavor would dominate your palate. Just as all the Camp wines were, this is a very drinkable wine. The distributor at the tasting referred to all of the Camp wines as his "porch-drinking wines" I didn't have it with food, but I bet it would go really well with cheese, especially havarti.
