The 2022 ‘Rougiste’ Napa Valley Red Wine is a Cabernet Franc-led blend with Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon, offering ripe red fruit, plum, and dark berry character. Firm but polished tannins give it structure, while French oak adds subtle depth without overwhelming the fruit. The wine is balanced and approachable now, with enough concentration to develop gracefully in the cellar.

Serve slightly below room temperature with grilled lamb, braised short ribs, or hearty mushroom dishes.
