Coquerel Estate 'Walnut Wash' - Cabernet Franc

The 2019 Coquerel Estate 'Walnut Wash' Cabernet Franc hails from Calistoga, Napa Valley, California. It's 100% Cabernet Franc. This wine boasts a lovely dark color. On the nose, you'll detect strong scents of strawberry and blackberry, with a touch of earthiness. The body is thick and full - bodied, and the finish offers soft tannins and a long - lasting red cherry flavor. Aged for 20 months in 25% new French oak, it tastes great right now and will get even better in the next ten years. It pairs perfectly with cheeses and meat dishes, standing up well to a hearty meal.

To enjoy this wine, just open the bottle and let it breathe for about 30 minutes before serving. Pour it into a wine glass and savor the aroma and flavor. You can drink it on its own, but it's a great match for cheeses and meat dishes. Keep the wine in a cool, dark place. If you have an unopened bottle, store it horizontally. Once opened, finish it within a few days and keep it in the fridge with a cork. Enjoy this wine responsibly and at your own pace.
