Cabernet Franc 2022, Shenandoah Valley, VA
2024, Virginia Governor's Cup, Silver Medal
Sourced from two under the radar, but prolific farms in the Shenandoah Valley, this quintessential Virginia thoroughbred won a silver medal at the Governor’s Cup on its first run out of the gate! At the opening turn, it screams of fresh green bell pepper and earthy forest mushrooms, before spicy dark cherry and dried herbs take the lead. Don’t blink or you’ll miss its juicy red berry and full-bodied burst across the finish line. The gurus at Common Wealth Crush Co. suggest to go for the win with our seared brown butter gnocchi with braised lamb and parsley gremolata.
