tête bêche — 2022

ruby red, with hints of cherry, camphor and pepper

Ruby in color, Tête Bêche tastes of blue fruit, cherry, and ripe strawberries. This cool climate Cabernet Franc is chiseled and firm while remaining delicate and ethereal in nature. It’s airy, lean in style and best enjoyed with a long chat.
