The Stratus Decant Cabernet Franc features a wine bottle design that is much more artistic and unexpected than what you'd find with other options out there. Sporting a deconstructed design that makes it look as though it were chopped up and put back together, the bottle is the design work of Karim Rashid who is an industrial designer.
The Stratus Decant Cabernet Franc wine itself is the winery's first unfiltered wine, which has allowed all of the sediment to remain in order to help broaden the taste of the premium libation. The flavor profile is purported to have hints of oak, cardamom, anise and raspberry jam, which are all naturally occurring thanks to the fermentation process.
The Stratus Decant Cabernet Franc has been produced in limited numbers of only 110 cases of the 2014 wine in existence.
