Bright cool‑climate Cabernet Franc: red currant, strawberry and rhubarb with dried herb and a leafy edge; silky, energetic palate, soft plush tannins and a clean, savory finish.

Roast pork, beef burgers, lamb gyros, tomato‑based pasta, roasted duck, char siu, Korean BBQ (bulgogi), mushroom stir‑fries, mapo tofu.
