Black Star Farms - 'Arcturos' Cabernet Franc (2020)
Old Mission Peninsula, Michigan, USA
About the wine
"This has been one of our most prominent red varieties for almost 15 years, and the grape never ceases to delight me. When we first started bottling it back in 1998, the variety had very little following, and most people had never heard of it. Now, the variety has become a fad, and you see its proud proclamation on wine labels from Bourgueil to California to Zurich. The truth is that this variety shines best with an extended growing season and in a cooler climate, which is basically what Michigan is all about!" - winemaker's notes
Aromas of sweet oak, freshly-tanned leather, and young bramble fruit lead to flavors of fresh boysenberries and raspberry tea leaf, with delicate notes of spice from well-integrated oak.
Pairs well with Lamb, Venison, Rabbit, Duck, Beef Stew, Tomato-Based Pastas, Mushrooms, and Grilled Vegetables.
