IRUAI Tierra Extraña Cabernet Franc

"Iruai Tierra Extraña Cabernet Franc is a captivating, minimal-intervention wine from the innovative minds at Iruai Winery, nestled in the Shasta-Cascade mountains of Northern California. Sourced from organic Cabernet Franc grapes in Oregon’s Rogue Valley, this wine undergoes whole-cluster fermentation and a brief carbonic maceration, followed by aging in neutral oak for eight months. Bottled unfined and unfiltered, it showcases a lighter, juicier side of the varietal with vibrant notes of coastal blackberry, tart raspberry, and a whisper of white pepper. Fragrant floral hints and a subtle campfire spice weave through its earthy core, creating a balanced, chillable red that’s as versatile as it is distinctive. Perfect for sipping riverside or fireside, Tierra Extraña—meaning 'strange land'—embodies the wild, untamed spirit of its high-elevation origins."
