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 blackberry, anise and mocha, followed by a firm structure, and finishing with velvety refined tannins and traces of “Rutherford dust”.Technical Information

Vintage
The 2020 season was a warm, dry winter and the rain and cooler weather didn’t arrive until the end of March. While the mild spring season was a great early start, summer brought very cool mornings and very warm days. The white wine harvest started in late August, with the wines showing excellent development in the cellars, reflecting the fine vintage year. While the red wine harvest was smaller yielding, proving to be one of the most challenging in history, our winemakers remained optimistic and very complimentary of the high quality achieved from this unprecedented vintage. The resulting 2020 wines are of very high quality with concentrated flavors and excellent acidity.Vineyard
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 this historic varietal.
