Cabernet Franc’s herbaceous aromatics shine in this blend with Cabernet Sauvignon. Juniper, perfumed florals,and blueberry lead into a bramble medley of strawberry, blackberry, and subtle herbs. Balanced structure and refined tannins create a smooth, lingering finish.

The Cabernet fruit came from our Estate Block 7 vineyard. The deep, gravelly soils in this vineyard promote low to moderate vigor, encouraging the vines to produce rich, concentrated fruit. Water drains quickly in this soil which compels deep root growth for accessing water and nutrients found in the rich subsoils below. The Cabernet Franc is from Block 15.
The growing season was consistent and mild. Signs pointed to an early harvest until a late August/early September heat wave pushed ripening in some blocks, resulting in a quickened harvest pace. But September rain brought a sigh of relief, refreshing the vines and allowing more hang time for the remaining grapes. Overall, the result was concentrated and flavorful fruit, creating great acid balance.
