Octopoda Cabernet Franc, California 2023

Aromas of ripe cherry, blackberry, and violet are complemented by hints of green bell pepper, cedar, and subtle spice. The silky, medium-bodied palate offers layers of dark fruit, gentle pepper, and well-integrated oak.

Bright acidity and refined tannins carry through to a long, elegant finish.
