Cabernet Franc is Virginia's red — the grape that feels most at home in our soil — and this one comes from Knights Gambit Vineyard in Crozet, just down the road from us. It's warm and generous: juicy red fruit up front, then a layer of earthy undertones and baking spice that gives it real depth without ever feeling heavy. Fermented with native yeast and bottled unfined and unfiltered, so nothing gets in the way of the fruit. This is the bottle for a slow dinner, a crackling fire, or any night that calls for a red that feels like a hug. Pour it with a slight chill and let it open up in the glass.
