Nose
This year’s offering is packed with red fruit notes from raspberry to cherry pie, and also has nuances of blue fruit, including blueberry and black raspberry. Chocolate and maple flavors and a hint of violets complete the nose.
Palate
On the palate, this is one of our most concentrated Cabernet Francs yet, with a syrupy texture that coats the entire mouth, big but ripe tannins, and our Cabernet Franc’s characteristic bright acidity.
Winemaking
Rounding out the wine, 14% Merlot from our Rocky Top vineyard block adds supple red fruit while 6% Cabernet Sauvignon from our Quartz Hill and Chalk Hill vineyard blocks provides structure and intensity.
Fermentation: Stainless steel.
Aging
French Oak.
