Nose
Cabernet Franc’s invigorating aromas of tobacco leaf, pencil lead and rose petal lead to flavors of dark plum and bittersweet chocolate.
Palate
Shaped by Merlot, the palate is opulent, rich and concentrated with fine structure and silky tannins supporting the fruit’s ample weight through the lingering finish. Magnificent now, the wine promises to develop even more grace and complexity with additional cellaring.
Growing Conditions
Inspired by the noble wines of Bordeaux’s “Right Bank,” this tiny-production bottling – the first for this wine – was crafted exclusively from Merlot and Cabernet Franc grown on the slopes of our Waters Ranch Vineyard high above the Napa Valley.
