2020 Estate Cabernet Franc

2020 Estate Cabernet Franc

We are proud to release our new 2020 Cabernet Franc which was grown in a new vineyard on the eastern side of the Santa Clara Valley near Gilroy. George and Lynda Green meticulously farm this vineyard to maximize quality. The 2020 growing season was outstanding the Santa Clara Valley allowing for a medium 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 smooth, old world tannins. This wine is a perfect match for a stuffed pork chops and homemade apple sauce.
