WINE DESCRIPTION
Metaphora Cabernet Franc is an alluring, medium-bodied red wine from the Loire Valley in France. Its deep garnet color is inviting, and its nose of ripe blackberry and cassis fruit, along with hints of pepper, earth and tobacco, promises a complex and delicious experience. On the palate, it is smooth and found, with balanced tannins and vibrant acidity. Blackberry and cassis flavors linger on the long finish, as do hints of plum, spice and herbs. Enjoy this delightful Cabernet Franc with braised short ribs, grilled pork chops, or a cheese plate.

ORIGINS
Winery: Metaphora
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
