WINE DESCRIPTION
Andis Cabernet Franc is a premium wine produced by Andis Wines, a renowned winery located in the Sierra Foothills of California. The wine is made from grapes grown in the El Dorado appellation, which is known for its high elevation and unique soil composition. The vineyard features steep slopes and rocky terrain, which contribute to the wine's complex flavors and aromas. The winemaking process involves careful selection of the grapes, followed by fermentation and aging in French oak barrels. The resulting wine is a rich and full-bodied Cabernet Franc, with notes of black cherry, tobacco, and vanilla. Its smooth tannins and long finish make it a perfect pairing for grilled meats and hearty dishes.
NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER
This Andis Cabernet Franc is an elegant and complex expression of the varietal.On the nose, aromas of ripe red fruits, such as cherry and plum, mingle with spice and hints of tobacco. On the palate, the wine has a rich texture and weight, with flavors of dark berry fruits, vanilla, and earthy undertones. The finish is long and velvety, with subtle tannins and lingering minerality.

ORIGINS
Winery: Andis
Region: Sierra Foothills
The Sierra Foothills wine region is located in the foothills of the Sierra Nevada mountain range in California, USA.
The discovery of gold near Sutter Mill in 1848 led to the California Gold Rush, resulting in many settlers from Southern Europe who established vineyards to supply them with wine. By the 1860s, the Sierra Foothills wine industry was booming before the depression and Prohibition reduced the industry to just a few vineyards.CUSTOMER RATING
