“Standing watch on the precipice of Bear Canyon, our tiny Cabernet Franc block is a winemaker favorite. True to the varietal, the wine opens with delightful hints of mint tea, raspberry, and green coffee beans. They are supported by stronger layers of black cherry, currants, and cocoa. The beautiful mountain fruit’s gentle small lot fermentation nurtures tannins that are smooth and integrate perfectly in the French oak aging. Fans of Cab Franc will enjoy this for many years.” – Justin Carr
