Wine Details
Price:
$25.00 per bottle
Description:
Cabernet Franc is an important component of our red wines, softening and rounding out the more angular Cabernet Sauvignon and providing intriguing aromas of cherry liqueur and chocolate. Its performance on our estate vineyard has been so superb that we decided to withhold a small amount to bottle on its own.
We fermented our Cabernet Franc in many small lots, which allowed us to treat each one as a unique expression of the vineyard. By using a variety of fermentation practices, yeast strains and barrel coopers, we created individual components that we carefully pieced together for the final blend. We used a minimum of fining and filtration and we aged the wine in 100 percent French oak barrels for 20 months.
Aromas of dried plums, leather, cherry and cranberry come with the first swirl. On the palate, the soft tannins and mouthfilling texture have a lingering sweet finish.
