2022 Dona Paula Aluvia Cabernet Franc Gualtallary

93 points Wine Advocate

"The Loire Valley-inspired 2022 Aluvia Cabernet Franc is a lovely expression of the variety's suitability in Uco Valley's sandy limestone soils. It opens with a refined, alluring, floral bouquet supplemented with black fruits and dried-herb aromas with a dusty undertone. The palate is seamless and svelte, concluding with a stony, buoyant finish framed by fine-grained tannins."
