Estate Cabernet Franc

Cabernet Franc

Our cooler eastern rows ripen Cabernet Franc slowly, holding the aromatic high notes that make this grape sing. Two years in barrel, a third of it new, frames the fruit without burying the wine’s characteristic savory edge.

Tasting notes

In the glass

Deep crimson, dense to the rim.

On the nose

Cassis, pencil shaving, dried tobacco leaf, crushed bay.

On the palate

Structured and cool-spirited, with chalky tannin and dark-fruit depth.

The finish

Firm and graphite-streaked, built to soften over a decade.

From the table

Dry-aged ribeye, or wild mushrooms over soft polenta.
