Newsom’s wines all have a distinctive style marked by cola, licorice, and layers of dark fruit. They are bold and intense and benefit from significant time in the cellar or extended decanting. This wine is a Frankenstein mixture of Cabernet Franc and Sangiovese called, appropriately, Frangiovese.

* | Boudreaux Cellars Frangiovese Desert Hills Vineyard, Washington State 2006 | A classic Boudreaux Cellars nose with light spice, especially white pepper, lying above a dark sea of fruit. A dark, edgy wine loaded with cola as well as black and brown licorice. Dry with a pretty large lick of tannins. Gets quite spicy on the palate as it opens up. Recommend additional bottle aging or extended decanting. Cab Franc; Sangiovese. 13.1% alcohol. | $30 |
