About the wine
Velvety Reserve Cabernet Franc from a legacy Clarksburg vineyard
- Bold, mouth-filling fruit flavors of rich plum and dark berries lead the way in this special Reserve Cabernet Franc from David, rounded off with a velvety, long-lasting finish from a generous bit of barrel-aging.
- Your support helped David select this world-class Cabernet Franc from a single vineyard lovingly tended by the legacy Miller grapegrowing family in the heart of Clarksburg, where conditions are prime for growing world-class red grapes like Cabernet Franc.
- David’s had close ties to the Millers for years, but with your support, he’s proud to unveil his first-ever Angel-funded Cabernet Franc from the Miller vineyard. This all-new, elegant red is one that every Angel deserves to try – bring home a bottle or two while supplies last!
Best before
Buy a couple of bottles and store the ones you don't drink in your wine cabinet. I think it will be great fun to open them in a couple of years to see how the flavors have developed over time.
Serving advice
If you must open this Cabernet Franc now, be sure to give it a couple of hours to breathe and open up. You might even want to open the bottle the night before you plan to enjoy it.
Food match
I would pair this Cab Franc with some nice cheeses and charcuterie, with a crusty baguette on the side.
Contains sulphites
