2022 Big Ranch Vineyard Cabernet Franc
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.
