Our Cabernet Franc comes from vineyards at high elevations in the Sierra Foothills. These vineyards boast a long growing season, which allows the grape to develop rich flavors and intense colors. Thanks to the volcanic soils, the wine is very true to the varietal's characteristics, with spicy aromas of tobacco, graphite, and black olive. This rich and layered red wine has flavors of black cherry and dark chocolate, with delicate tannins and a slight tang of acidity that keep it perfectly balanced.

"There's an absolute deliciousness factor to this wine. Immediate aromas of voluptuous boysenberry, black cherry, black currant, and capsicum entice the senses. The palate offers a firm tannic texture, adding structural integrity and a backbone for those ripe red and black fruits. Flavors confirm the nose and add a sprinkle of black pepper and a touch of wood, all leading toward a meaty-umami finish." - STACY BRISCOE

Higher acidity makes it possible to pair Cabernet Franc with tomato-based dishes, vinegar-based sauces (smoky BBQ, anyone?), or rich legumes like black beluga lentils. - Wine Folly
