Really pretty. Light body, pencil shavings, wild berry, dried herbs, floral and great acid. I’m a fan.

Lo-Fi’s 2017 Cabernet Franc is flat-out delicious. Nuanced and refreshing, with tons of varietal Franc character, the 2017 is bold, racy and incredibly inviting. Bright aromatics and beautifully pure red berry fruit are given an extra kick of freshness from the 100% whole clusters. (Antonio Galloni, Vinous, June 2018)

Super juicy, fresh, light and easy drinking. Strawberries & herbs. Easy on its own, better with food.

Ruby with glints of pink and iridescent purple. Juicy ripe and easygoing flavors follow classic franc aromas with bell peppers and some gravel. Gulp-able. Hard to not love this one.

Green brined peppers and wow. With just a touch of sour cherry. Sugar and more green pepper. All nose. Palette is sweet, with an attack of briar patch berries. Softens through the mid but finishes with greasy tannins. What a funky cool wine. Bravo.

If you give it some time and attention, you’ll get to the cab franc.
