The 2010 Bugay Vineyard Cabernet Franc is a striking example of how California’s diverse terroir can shape a wine with depth and character. This vintage presents tantalizing aromas of ripe black cherry and hints of bell pepper, layered with subtle earthy undertones that invite further exploration. On the palate, it reveals a velvety texture complemented by well-integrated tannins and a lively acidity, showcasing flavors of dark plum and a touch of spice that linger beautifully. Ideal for a cozy dinner party, this wine pairs wonderfully with grilled lamb or a hearty mushroom risotto. Scoring well in the realm of quality, this Cabernet Franc represents a fantastic value at its current price, delivering a sophisticated experience that truly exceeds expectations.
