Cabernet Franc is sourced from high-elevation vineyards in the Sierra Foothills, where the growing season is long and allows the grape to develop rich flavors and intense color. The volcanic soils produce a red wine that is very true to the varietal's characteristics; spicy aromas of tobacco, graphite, and black olive. This unabashedly rich and layered wine has black cherry and dark chocolate flavors, with delicate tannins and a slight tang of acidity that keep it beautifully balanced.
