Introducing our 2024 Cab Franc - Lemberger!

This peppery, bold red is a once-in-a-lifetime bottle. At 66% Lemberger and 34% Cabernet Franc (all harvested from the historic Doyle Vineyard), this wine has a big presence and a long finish. It will pair perfectly with homemade pizza, grilled burgers, or spicy barbecued chicken. We've been serving it slightly chilled here at the Winegarden, and we suggest you give that a try! Also available to order online :)
