Michael David Inkblot Cabernet Franc
Michael David Winery doesn't do subtle – and thank goodness for that. Their Inkblot series takes underappreciated grape varieties and turns them into bold, statement-making wines that demand attention.
This Cabernet Franc is like Cab Franc's bodybuilder cousin who spent the summer in the gym while everyone else was lounging at the beach. Lodi's warm climate allows Cabernet Franc to reach a level of ripeness and concentration rarely seen in its traditional Loire Valley homeland.
The result is a wine that maintains the variety's characteristic herb and graphite notes but wraps them in a package of luscious, concentrated fruit. It's perfect for those who appreciate the variety's unique character but prefer their wines with a bit more muscle.
The name 'Inkblot' is fitting – this wine is so dense and dark it could leave a permanent mark on your palate (in the best possible way).
