2022 Big Ranch Vineyard Cabernet Franc

An old vine vineyard in the Oak Knoll District of Napa Valley planted in 1978.

Explodes with an enticing herbaceous-ness backed by blackberry jam and boysenberry notes. Tobacco leaf, licorice and a chinato-like spice lurk just underneath. The wine itself is structured and elegant with a sweet fruited, borderline jammy mid-palate and great acid structure as scaffolding. One of the oldest Cabernet Franc vineyards in remaining in Napa Valley. 250 Cases Produced.
