2022 Cabernet Franc

The entire process of planting, growing, harvesting and them to drinking Cab Franc brings us pleasure. Everything with this varietal always seems to line up just right. The vines love growing here in our gnarly stony soils and translating that through the cellar seems rather simple, as it happens so naturally. When things are so well suited for each other, the result is our Cab Franc program. Ripe, yet boasting a chewy structure. Those cigar box characters, that more rustic savoury tone, those stewed dark fruits, black raspberries all describe this wine. A little aging will develop floral and licorice tones but do try both! Open one early to explore that more vibrant and rowdy side. Age and allow more complex or more subdued fruit to yield to licorice and chocolate characters.
