Zepaltas Wines
Pickberry Vineyard Cabernet Franc
Sonoma Valley, Sonoma County, California, USA
Purposefully underripe. Even with significant air, did not have any real aromatic complexity. Dominated by acid and yet bereft of balancing fruit. Have had many good Zepaltas wines but this one was not pleasant to me, and I count myself in the AFWE crowd...
