Everything I love about Virginia—Cab Franc, Cab Franc, Cab Franc! (or at least 54% of it) There's a reason this is Rappa's flagship red

I'm biased, but so are the judges. Really love this vintage.

Bold flavor that retains dark cherry and plumb glaciers from the first taste to the last drink. Great Bordeaux-style finish. Great with steak and lamb.
