2021 Wild Boar Cabernet Franc
The 2021 Wild Boar Cabernet Franc is the first Wild Boar we have produced since 2017. This wine is a classic example of the varietal when grown in the Napa Valley. It has a subtle opulence - classic California Cabernet Franc grown in a warm climate with a long growing season.
On the nose this wine has a distinctive herbaceous aroma with hints of red fruits and a touch of pencil lead. On the palate the wine is rich and round. It has lovely soft tannins which depart the palate and lead to a finish that leaves you with a longing for more!
The herbaceous nature of Cabernet Franc makes it perfect for dishes that have fresh herbs. The wine will pair with a wide variety of foods - tomato-based dishes, vinegar-based sauces, smoky BBQ, great with grilled chicken, turkey, pork tenderloin, spicy sausages such as chorizo and merguez. If you like vegetables eggplant parmigiana, rich lentil soups and stews. Pairing the wine with cheese choose rich goat cheese and a real hit is gruyere. This wine should be enjoyed now but will drink beautifully through 2028.
