2022 "Hanami" Cabernet Franc
Born in Loire, France, 'Hanami' is named after the Japanese practice of viewing cherry blossoms in bloom, a red wine fit for the contemplative celebration of life with its floral and cherry notes. One of the vins vivants or 'living wines', this aromatic and light Cabernet Franc evolves as you experience it, revealing pieces of its personality with layers upon layers of flavors begging to be explored.
This wine feels young and wild with flavors of fleshy ripe dark cherries, leather, flowers. On the nose you get Korean green peppers and smoke. Flavorful and delicious, yet simple and not cerebral at all- just a sweetheart. Perfect for accompanying intimate conversations that are endlessly unravelling.
