Winemaker Notes
This dry farmed Cabernet Franc is a concentrated, inky plum colored redthat is subtle in its approach with its silky tannins and generously integrated French oaklactones. The intense aromas are concentrated with dark fruits such as rich plum, blackcherry and boysenberry aromas. The palate gives way to more of the same juicy dark fruitsadding blackberry and huckleberry flavors and soft,but firm tannins, cigar box, cedar andintegrated French oak notes with vanilla. The finish is generous, soft, supple and completewith plush tannins and silky oak tones which interplay with generous fruit notes andcontemplative spice and earth tones. This wine pairs well with grilled New York steak with sautéed mushrooms with shallots and fresh herbs like marjoram and oregano. If it is fish you are after, try it with soy infused Sea Bass with Oyster Mushrooms and fresh ginger in a soy broth. It’s also absolutely fantastic with grilled Unagi nigiri and a hit with Impossible Burgers while watching the big game!

Aromas of blackcurrants and blackberries with walnut, licorice and toasted cedar. Full-bodied with chalky tannins and a juicy dark-fruited character. Juicy and racy at the end. Drink or hold.
