Graffito 2021 Cabernet Franc

Tasting Notes

Graffito’s 2021 Cabernet Franc opens with a vibrant aromatic profile—black cherry, ripe raspberry, and plum layered over subtle notes of dried herbs, graphite, and a touch of cocoa. On the palate, the wine is medium‑ to full‑bodied with supple tannins and lively acidity, showcasing the varietal’s signature mix of red and dark fruit alongside hints of tobacco leaf, pepper, and a gentle mineral edge. While Cabernet Franc is the dominant varietal, the wine often includes a small percentage of complementary grapes such as Malbec or Cabernet Sauvignon to enhance structure and depth, resulting in a balanced, expressive finish that lingers with spice and freshness. It pairs beautifully with herb‑roasted chicken, grilled lamb, mushroom risotto, charcuterie, and dishes featuring roasted peppers or earthy vegetables, as the wine’s acidity and savory undertones elevate both lighter and richer fare.
