2024 Steven Kent Winery Cabernet Franc Blanc, Livermore Valley   

The white wine that comes from this most noble of reds is a whole world unto itself – a kingdom of sainted stone fruit, but which ones? Of the most acid-driven whites, but from where does the beautifully rich texture come? This is the wine to try blind, the one from which to jettison preconceived notions of what white wine should be and surrender to the gorgeousness that is THE organoleptic parade.
