2020 Paris Valley Road Cabernet Franc
The 2020 Cabernet Franc is swirl-friendly on its own before dinner and food-friendly during. Raspberries, mulberries, and strawberries flow up front, while licorice and dried herbs appear on the mid-palate. Finishes with hints of clay pot, tea leaves, and bell peppers. Pour and pair with assorted tapas, roasted vegetables, or a barbecue medley.

Winemaker Notes
We produced the 2020 Cabernet Franc with grapes from our Drake Vineyard in the Templeton Gap, a cool climate growing region that highlights acidity, minerality, and crisp red fruit flavors. We embraced this profile, creating a delicate, finessed cabernet franc. We used traditional winemaking practices and aged the wine in 33% new French oak, the lower new oak impact resulting in a lighter-bodied wine that fits perfectly in our portfolio.
