Lightwell Survey The Weird Ones Are Wolves Shenandoah Valley 2022

Lightwell Survey’s 2022 “The Weird Ones Are Wolves” from the Shenandoah Valley is a graceful, expressive Cabernet Franc that balances finesse and character. Unlike heavier reds, it leans lighter in body, offering bright red fruits, subtle floral notes, and a whisper of leather and tobacco that give it an Old‑World feel. The wine’s fine tannins and fresh acidity make it structured but approachable, while its low‑intervention style highlights the unique terroir of the Shenandoah Valley. Perfect with roasted meats, earthy vegetables, or even a well‑crafted burger, it’s a thoughtful, nuanced red that’s both intriguing and easy to enjoy.
