OUR WINES > CABERNET FRANC

We decided to bottle a 100% Cabernet Franc because so many people wonder what this variety is all about and it seemed like a good idea to offer a pure example. We make a small amount of this variety every year to use in our "Estate" blend. In 2001 we had more than we needed for blending and I loved the wine and decided to bottle it alone. I am beginning to believe the opinion I have often heard in recent years, that Spring Mountain may be a perfect place to grow this variety. It does well here, setting a light but very even crop and coming into ripeness with textbook numbers every year. Cabernet Franc seems happy on Spring Mountain. It's absolutely delightful in its youth, and will also benefit from a few years bottle ageing.
