Margins Wine
Santa Cruz Mountains Cabernet Franc
Santa Cruz Mountains, San Francisco Bay, California, USA
Purple red, moderate pigment extraction. 12.1% alc/vol Sweet cherry aroma with a hint of plum and black currant. Raspberry with some strawberry flavor which emerges five minutes after initial pour. Aftertaste of white pepper with a hint of spearmint. Good mouthfeel though not round, light body, light on seed tannin though there is moderate skin tannin on the aftertaste. “Minimum intervention “ is this winemaker’s style. Akin to Sandlands but different. Not to everyone’s taste but she is a pioneer winemaker to watch

Saturday pre-RawWine tasting event with Megan Bell. Nice Santa Cruz Cab Franc that is quaffable now. Megan indicated she is not a fan of tannin, so does not do much extraction.
