Wine Profile
Tasting Notes
The 2022 Cabernet Franc opens with inviting aromas of ripe blackberries, juicy red cherries, and plum, with a subtle hint of earthy gravel and a touch of oak. It’s medium-bodied, with smooth tannins that make it easy to enjoy. Flavors of dark fruit blend with a hint of cocoa, adding a bit of richness. The finish is soft and lingers with a light touch of dried herbs, giving it a lovely balance. This vintage is elegant yet approachable, making it a great choice for both casual sips and food pairings. This vintage is drinking well now and should be enjoyed over the next 5-8 years.
Vineyard Notes
The parent grape to Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc often expresses the same denseness and richness of its offspring yet has a complexity that is all its own. We source our Cabernet Franc grapes from the small corner block fronting both Pickett Road and Rosedale Road in Calistoga from vines that are over 40 years old.
