This wine is where it all started. Cabernet Franc was the first grape we planted and the first wine we made. Cabernet Franc and Sauvignon Blanc are the parent grapes of Cabernet Sauvignon. Even though the varietal shares DNA with Cabernet Sauvignon, they are very different. Cabernet Franc ripens about a week faster than Cabernet Sauvignon, making it more adaptable to cooler climates. It grows best in sandy terroir. This wine is smooth and earthy with hints of berries and tobacco on the nose. It hits the palate with intense fruit and peppery accents. Eighteen months of oak aging give this wine deep tannins that linger on the finish and notes of oak and spice.
