2018 Estate Cabernet Franc

The 2018 growing season was outstanding the Santa Clara Valley allowing for a large crop with long hang time on the vine, giving intense and complex flavors. Cherry cobbler is the first flavor that this medium intensity, but complex, wine gives in the nose. Plum, pipe tobacco and eucalyptus round out the aromas followed by ripe plum and red fruit in the mouth and chalky, old world tannins. This wine is a perfect match for a savory plate of braised short ribs.
