2022 Reserve Cabernet Franc
Out Of Stock
Winemaking Notes
Vibrant aromas of crushed violets, wild raspberry, brown sugar, and baking spices accompanied by flavors of toasty oak, black cherry, and subtle graphite undertones. This Cabernet Franc showcases elegant, fine-grained 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 2022 vintage was dry and mild. Rain from the previous autumn was light, and the new year was warm and dry with daytime highs up to 70°F in early spring. After a few light sprinkles in the late spring and early summer, the temperature climbed into the triple digits a few days in June, but the season was mild overall, with most summer days peaking around 85-90°F. The balance of moderately high daytime
temperatures and cool evenings yielded ideal flavor concentration and mild acidity. Due to the dry and seasonable weather, harvest came unexpectedly earlier than previous vintages. With all things in balance, we harvested Cabernet Franc on September 15th.
