Our winemakers carefully hand selected specific vineyard blocks and individual barrels to assemble a blend of all of the core Bordeaux varietals for our Cabernet Franc. Multi-layered, bright and supple, the 2007 vintage abounds with fruit flavors of blueberry, raspberry and cranberries and aromas of sweet spice and cherry cola. Prominent in the mouth is the complex, layered, structure, with elegant hints of sweet straw and a long, juicy lingering finish. While tasting great now, it has an abundance of aging potential.

We recommend serving a wine with this much personality and verve with osso bucco, pan seared beef filet with green peppercorn sauce or a piece of aged Gouda.
