Michael David Inkblot Cabernet Franc Lodi 750ml

Inkblot Cabernet Franc is a bold Lodi red from Michael David Winery, at 15% ABV.

The grapes come from a 9-acre vineyard on the west side of Lodi, California.

It is known for unapologetic intensity, with dark berry fruit, sweet vanilla and black pepper.

The finish is framed by spice notes woven into dark berry flavors; Wine Enthusiast rated the 2022 vintage 91 points.

The ink-blot label makes it a conversation starter and a fun gift.

Good wine rewards a little care in serving. Whites and rosés show best chilled to around 45 to 50°F, while reds are at their most expressive slightly below room temperature, around 60 to 65°F. Opening the bottle and letting it breathe for a few minutes, or pouring it into a decanter, helps the aromas open up.
