Tasting Notes
Tasting Notes
On the nose, aromas of blackberry and savory bay leaf are present alongside toasty almond and coffee bean notes from the oak barrel integration, leading to flavors of black cherry, anise and mocha, followed by a firm structure, and finishing with velvety refined tannins and traces of “Rutherford Dust”.

The Napa Valley region enjoyed a stunning, near picture-perfect 2018 growing season including good winter rains, mild spring weather and steady temperatures throughout that allowed for even flowering and bud break. These ideal growing conditions were followed by a cool, even and slow-paced harvest which allowed the winery to vinify wines at a gentle pace. The resulting 2018 wines are of very high quality with plenty of concentrated flavors, color and excellent acidity.
Vineyard
Napa Valley AVA
Vineyards
The Reserve Cabernet Franc is sourced from a combination of vineyards around our home winery as well as warmer vineyards in Napa Valley. We specifically selected premier vineyard blocks situated on well-draining soils, in sun-kissed, warm microclimates bringing out the most superior quality in the historic varietal.
