100% Cabernet Franc
Black raspberry, rosemary, and leather aromas on the nose immediately hint at the wild side of this Cabernet Franc. The midpalate transitions to red fruit with a pleasant tomato leaf savoriness, but is most notable for the grip and mouth coating nature of its fruit-derived tannins. Without oak as an intermediary, the wine is focused on crunchy fruit and tannins that demand food pairings from fatty to acidic to smoky.
Cold soaked for 72 hours before fermentation. Native yes fermentation in stainless steel tank. Kept on skins and stems for 6 more weeks, screw-pressed off and returned to tank.
