Martin woods Cabernet franc 2022

Here's a lovely dry red wine from Oregon — Martin Woods working their magic with Cabernet Franc from the 2022 vintage. A quick word on the grape: Cabernet Franc is an aromatic red grape, a parent of Cabernet Sauvignon, typically lighter in body with red-fruit, herbal and sometimes peppery character. Oregon, up in the cool, rainy Pacific Northwest, has made its name with elegant, cool-climate wines — its silky Pinot Noir above all. Pour it with weeknight pasta, roast chicken or a cheese plate and you're golden. Pop it open at cool room temperature — a brief chill on a hot day doesn't hurt.
