The Wine Advocate, July 3, 2024
Martini's 2021 Cabernet Franc Monte Rosso Vineyard is all Cabernet Franc, from a single block (34) in the middle of the vineyard. Marked by scents of dried herbs and a faint leafiness akin to tobacco, it also features cherries and a hint of vanilla on the nose. In the mouth, it's medium to full-bodied, concentrated and silky, then finishes long and elegant, framed by softly dusty tannins.
