Our 2019 Cabernet Franc was hand-selected and fermented using native “wild” yeasts. Our tradition of using native yeast adds aromatic complexity, and a beautiful texture, and allows the wine to truly express itself and the Estate Vineyard site. This Cabernet Franc displays ripe aromatics of red currant, plum, and raspberry. Subtle herbal and spice undertones round out the vast amounts of fruit. Opulent and well structured, this full-bodied wine offers complex flavors of cassis, blueberry, and savory herbs that are complemented by a splash of mouthwatering acidity leading to a long, smooth finish. Try pairing this wonderful Cabernet Franc with a simple plating of warm toasted walnuts, pears, and blue cheese, or something a little heartier such as a beef tenderloin medallion with mushroom gravy.
