Sonoma County
2021 Reserve Cabernet Franc
In Stock
Rich with aromas of brown sugar, plum and baking spices with favors of dusty oak, plum and cherry with firm tannins and a long, smooth finish. Perfect when paired with a New York strip steak, grilled cheese with caramelized bacon or even a classically smoky pulled pork sandwich.
Production Notes
The 2021 vintage turned out to be a fantastic growing season, with no frost and very mild temperatures throughout most of the year. Sonoma County’s unpredictable spring rains ended in March, leading to one of the driest seasons on record. The result was an earlier than average harvest of Bordeaux varietals, with approximately 15% lower yields compared to previous vintages and dense concentration of flavors.
With all things in balance, harvest took place between September 11th - 26th.
