Michael David Winery Inkblot Cabernet Franc 2017, Lodi, California

The first Lodi Cabernet Franc wine ever produced by Michael David Winery and one of the few produced from Lodi. This varietal originated from the Bordeaux and Loire Valley regions of France and has been grown with success in many other countries. The grapes for this wine come from a 9 acre vineyard located on the west side of Lodi, no more than a stone’s throw away from the winery. Tasting notes: “Dark, decadent and alluring, our 2017 Cabernet Franc exudes aromas of plush black cherry, red plum, baking spices and coconut on the nose. Heavy on the mouth with smooth, polished tannins, unique flavors of strawberry jam, dark chocolate truffle and peppery spice lead to a layered, ample finish.” – from the Winery. Aged 18 months in French oak.
