100% Cabernet Franc, Loire Valley, FR
Another first time in Ontario!! Welcome the fancy & juicy as all heck Greta Carbo. First things first, let’s all take a moment out of our days to sit quietly & reflect on this wine’s drily witty moniker, which we only wish the real Greta Garbo had lived to see & appreciate. Having a wine named after you is an even greater honour than winning an Academy Award, especially if it is a pun at the same time. Just like Garbo, Carbo is a legend, the revered sort of cult wine that unites this world’s hypebeasts, wine snobs, & regular cool people with good taste with its undeniable excellence. The ‘Carbo’ is a nod to carbonic maceration, the mode of vinification used to give this single parcel Cab Franc its dazzingly bright & extracted red fruit flavours, like an amplified, saturated version of Cab Franc with the volume turned all the way up. Silky, glossy texture, with a whimsical depth on the palate. Cab Franc’s signature greenness shows up to the party, like rolling around in a field of dewy early morning grass. Dash of black pepper, cherry lollipop, strawberry Twizzler, forest & filth, squishy mud between your toes. Hazy sandalwoodsy incense vibes from eight months in oak, this is a magical mystical red, captivating & spellbinding, share it with your favourite person in the world, someone thoughtful & deep, someone who Gets It & whose allure it won’t be lost on. Pairs perfectly with black velvet, water signs & sapphires. Drink on the night of a full moon.
