Cosentino The Blanc

Cosentino Winery has produced wines for 35 years from two of California's finest growing regions, Napa Valley and Lodi. Aromatics of dusty chocolate, blueberry and cedar. The palate is redolent of dark berries, lilac, roasted marshmallow and a touch of anise. Velvety and juicy with supple mouthfeel, nice complexity and a pleasant lingering finish. The grapes for THE Franc were hand-harvested in Lodi, an AVA known to benefit from the cooling Delta influence. The 2020 season got off to a slightly later start, with a delayed and slow bud break. The end of harvest found yields were down quite a bit across the region, with later-ripening varieties showing good concentration.
