Winery
100% Cabernet Franc grown at high elevation (nearly 3,000 feet), on volcanic loam soil. Temperatures at this altitude are a bit slower to warm up in the morning and cool off quicker in the evening, preserving great natural acidity in the fruit. Much like the Gamay, this wine is made in a very traditional way - whole clusters are foot crushed and fermented in open top vats. The grapes are then pressed into puncheons for aging and racked once before bottling. Deep red plum color. Powerful aromas of black cherry, thyme, rosemary and graphite. Medium bodied, with a nice balance of fruit, earth, acidity and tannins. 12% alcohol, 104 cases produced.

Varietal: Cabernet Franc

Cabernet Franc varietal grapes are a key ingredient in many of the finest wines in the world. For centuries they have been used in their native France for balancing out and adding their unique flavor and aroma to the finest wines of the Bordeaux region, and in more recent decades, they have been used all over the New World in attempts to emulate this most illustrious of wine styles. Alone, Cabernet Franc is an exciting, rich and elegant wine grape, producing wines packed full of interesting and highly aromatic characteristics. Violets, tobacco, bell pepper, blackcurrant and several other notes are regularly found within wines made from this grape, and the rich, pale garnet red color they offer makes them a favorite for both vintners and wine drinkers around the world.

Country: United States

For three hundred years now, the United States has been leading the New World in wine production, both in regards to quantity and quality. Wine is actually produced in all fifty states across the country, with California leading the way by an enormous margin. Indeed, as much as eighty-nine percent of all wines to come out of the United States are produced in California, where the fertile soils and sloping mountain sides, coupled with the long, hot summers provide ideal conditions for producing high quality, European style red, white and rosé wines. With over a million acres of the country under vine, the United States sits comfortably as the fourth largest wine producer in the world, where imported grape varietals from all over the Old World are processed using a successful blend of traditional and contemporary techniques.
