Market Price
To show you the value you're getting as an Angel...
We regularly benchmark a selection of our wines against up to three comparable wines on the market. The Market Price is based on the price of those wines.
What do we mean by benchmark? We taste them blind against our own wines, or we use our market knowledge (over 40 years between us) to set an industry standard Market Price.
If you buy one of our wines and disagree with the Market Price, or it's not your cup of tea, we'll add a credit to your account. For more info, see our FAQS.

About the wine
A classic Napa Cab with finesse
- This refined Cabernet drips with brambly blackberries, black cherries and raspberry preserves – and really shows off the hallmarks of the region. The perfect finishing touch? Fine oak aging.
- “My goal with the Francophone is to make wines that are fruit-driven, vibrant and smooth,” says Daniel. What he says is what you get – a perfect anytime Cabernet to drink in its youth and for years to come.
Best before
I think that the 2021 Francophone Cabernet Sauvignon will develop well in the cellar given proper cellaring conditions.
Serving advice
For the first year after release I would decant this wine before serving. After that period, if you have had the discipline to save a few bottles, I would let the wine warm up a bit from cellar temperature and serve it directly from the bottle
Food match
I would pair the 2021 Francophone Cabernet Sauvignon with grilled line caught fresh salmon served on a bed of basmati rice and steamed spinach. Otherwise, I would roast a Rocky chicken in a 450°F oven with baby potatoes and serve it with a caesar salad.
