Michael Shaps Cabernet Franc 2021

Cabernet Franc has been one of Michael’s favorite varieties to make because of its unique expression and style that represents the variety and Virginia well. Cabernet franc is resistant to Virginia’s humid conditions and ripens well on the deep clay soils. This vintage, we decided to showcase the variety with a 100% varietal wine. Fresh red cherry and raspberry are prevalent on the palate and a medium body is matched with bright acidity to make this a very versatile pairing wine. Enjoyable now, but can aged for about 3-5 years.
