Wine Details
Price:
$18.00 per bottle
Description:
FRANCESCO, is produced from our exceptional Cabernet Franc grapes picked at the peak of their maturity. Our high elevation and proximity to the Blue Ridge rewards us with hot days and very cool nights. As a result, grapes retain their acidity while maturing their tannins. The wine is full of ripe cherry and raspberry flavors with a hint of oak and a pronounced smoky nose. Beginning with the 2002 vintage, we will have two distinct bottlings of this wine. The first, "Ballerina" named after the divided canopy growth conditions, routinely produces high yields per vine with rich and intense fruit. In contrast our newer, high density plantings which produce only a third as much crop per vine, "VSP" emphasizes structure and definition seldom found in the grape outside of St. Emilion.
