Ryme Cabernet Franc "Alegria Vineyard" Russian River Valley 2014

Relatively cool climate (Russian River, near Healdsburg) and gentle winemaking makes for a Loire-esque, bright, pretty Cabernet Franc. Smell and taste dark plums and cranberries, cracked black peppercorns, a little lavender, sage and fennel. Part carbonic maceration makes for a nose that jumps from the glass. Have with pork and salmon.
