{"product_id":"2020-matthiasson-cabernet-franc","title":"2020 Matthiasson Cabernet Franc","description":"\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eThe 2020 Matthiasson Cabernet Franc is a distinctive and restrained expression of Cabernet Franc from the Oak Knoll area of Napa Valley. Organically farmed and dry-grown, it shows plum and red fruit alongside dried leaves, poblano pepper, sage and savoury herbs, with an iron-like mineral character bringing further complexity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eOn the palate, it is light yet structured, with fresh fruit supported by vibrant acidity and remarkably soft tannins. Fermentation with 50% whole clusters enhances the variety’s herbal and spicy character, while 10 months in neutral puncheons builds texture without adding obvious oak flavour. At just 12% alcohol, it offers an elegant, fresh and finely balanced alternative to more powerful Napa reds.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBen’s Recommendation:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAt Wine More Cellars, this is an excellent choice for Cabernet Franc drinkers looking for a lighter, savoury and terroir-driven expression of Napa Valley. Its combination of plum fruit, herbal complexity, soft tannins and mineral freshness makes it particularly versatile with food. Enjoy now or allow further bottle development. Ideal with roast duck, grilled lamb, steak with chimichurri, mushroom dishes, roast pork or aged cheeses.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eInfo\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003ctable style=\"width: 100.058%;\"\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"width: 48.4696%;\"\u003eCOUNTRY\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 51.4334%;\"\u003eUnited States\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"width: 48.4696%;\"\u003ePRODUCER\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 51.4334%;\"\u003eMatthiasson\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"width: 48.4696%;\"\u003eVARIETY\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 51.4334%;\"\u003eCabernet Franc\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"width: 48.4696%;\"\u003eSTYLE\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 51.4334%;\"\u003eRed Wine\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"width: 48.4696%;\"\u003eVINTAGE\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 51.4334%;\"\u003e2020\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"width: 48.4696%;\"\u003eSIZE\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 51.4334%;\"\u003e750ml\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Matthiasson","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51662258045243,"sku":"MTNVCF20","price":85.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0574\/6779\/7699\/files\/2020MatthiassonCabernetFranc.jpg?v=1788806982","url":"https:\/\/winemore.com.au\/products\/2020-matthiasson-cabernet-franc","provider":"Wine More Cellars","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
