The 2020 16 File, 100% Cabernet Franc, is another stellar wine from Ampeleia. As the name states, it emerges from a 16-row parcel, in this case from deep soils rich in schist. The 2020 captures a striking mix of aromatic depth and Franc fruit, all framed by super-polished tannins. Dark red plum, leather, dried flowers, spice, new leather and sweet pipe tobacco all soar from the glass. A mesmerizing, complex wine, the 16 File is utterly sublime. A touch of whole-cluster savoriness comes through on the finish. The 2020 was vinified and aged entirely in concrete. Production is just 800 bottles. I loved it. Drinking window: 2025 - 2035
