(12/30/2024) Inspired by Cabernet Franc from the Loire Valley, the 2021 Nithya Massa Vineyard is a blend of 50% Cabernet Franc and 50% Malbec. It has aromas of red and black currants, bell pepper, violet, cracked pepper and graphite. The medium-bodied palate has a deep core of pleasantly herbal fruits, chalky tannins and energetic acidity, finishing long and layered. I love this bright, crunchy style! This comes from vines originally planted in the 1970s in the Carmel Valley. Drink Date: 2023 - 2030.
