Deux Punx Cabernet Franc is a bold yet approachable red wine from Napa, California, crafted by Dan Schaaf and Aaron Olson, two ex-punk rockers turned minimalist winemakers since 2008. Sourced from the Albini Vineyard in Carneros, this wine showcases organically farmed Cabernet Franc grapes grown in the region’s cool, fog-kissed climate and clay-loam soils. The duo’s hands-off approach shines through—grapes are hand-harvested, fermented spontaneously with native yeasts in stainless steel, and aged briefly in neutral oak for 4-6 months. Bottled unfined and unfiltered with minimal sulfur, it clocks in around 13% ABV, staying true to their punk ethos of letting the fruit speak for itself.
The wine pours a deep ruby with a slight translucence, hinting at its lighter extraction. On the nose, expect a punch of white pepper—a Cabernet Franc signature—mingled with tart red cherry, cassis, and a whiff of green herbs. The palate delivers a juicy, medium-bodied sip, balancing bright acidity with soft, dusty tannins and a savory, mineral-driven finish. It’s less about the heavy fruit bombs of Napa and more about finesse and drinkability—think crunchy red fruit with an earthy edge. Perfect slightly chilled with grilled meats, spicy tacos, or a charcuterie spread, this Cab Franc is a raw, rebellious take on a classic.
