About the wine
Franc's mighty Malbec is a rare Sonoma Valley treat
-
When you think of Malbec, most people’s minds don’t immediately go to California. But the grape flourishes in the distinct terroir of the Sonoma Valley.
-
Franc harvested top-notch Malbec from two prime vineyards – one atop Moon Mountain, the other on the valley floor – to create an out-of-this-world red with intense fruit and oak flavours and layers of complexity.
-
If you’re enjoying this wine straight away, we recommend decanting to experience it in all its glory. Bold aromas of blackberries, plums, and dark chocolate leap out of the glass with hints of spice and tobacco. And all those deep, dark flavours follow through on the palate with a full-bodied and velvety texture.

Food match
This versatile Malbec pairs well with a variety of foods, but one local delicacy that complements it perfectly is grilled tri-tip steak, a Sonoma Valley favourite. The smoky and juicy flavours of the grilled meat bring out the richness and depth of the wine, creating a harmonious blend of flavours.
