The 94-point **Sol Rouge Cabernet Franc** from Red Hills Lake County 2016 reveals vibrant red fruit aromas of wild berries and black cherry, laced with subtle earthy minerality from the volcanic soils.
On the palate, it offers concentrated flavors of dark plum and spice, with firm tannins and bright acidity from high-elevation vineyards that ensure graceful aging. This structured red echoes the herbal edge and elegance of **Loire Valley Cabernet Franc**, but with bolder California intensity. Lean, well-drained obsidian-rich terrain yields compact berries and complex flinty notes.
Serve at 60–65°F with grilled lamb chops or roasted root vegetables.
