Wine Review: 2012 Salton Cabernet Franc, Campanha, Brazil
Brazil makes wine? Indeed they do, and this Salton Cabernet Franc is a great effort coming from the Campanha region, Brazil’s most southern wine region located adjacent to the country’s border with Uruguay.
The Salton Cabernet Franc is fruit-driven and soft with pretty red fruits, spice and leather. The wine had a tinge of greenness to it but not to the point where it was offensive or overzealous—rather it played nicely in the background.
Overall, this wine was pleasant and well-structured with a high quality to price ratio (QPR). Buy it drink it, love it. We paired it with grilled chicken and crimini mushroom risotto with asparagus—delicious!
Rating: Very Good (88) | $16 | 13.0 % ABV
