About
Domaine Saint Gabriel L'Alphabet 2020 represents Cabernet Franc in its purest form. Grown on the organic slopes of Mount Lebanon, this premium monocépage has been carefully matured in amphorae for two years, developing remarkably ripe aromas while beautifully retaining a vibrant, natural freshness on the palate.
Tasting Notes
The rich crimson red robe reflects beautiful garnet reflections. The nose is highly expressive, releasing lovely notes of fresh red berries. On the palate, the wine demonstrates superb finesse where the tannins are quite subtle, leading the way to a very elegant, clean finish. Decanting is required before serving.
