Presale, incoming march/april 2025

Our cab franc rests on a wavelength despised and avoided by other winemakers in our region - which makes me lean in even more. We want to preserve the 'cab franc-i-ness'; we want fresh cut herbs; we want savory spice. Cab franc is one of the most distinctive grape varieties, why wouldn't we want to embrace that? Slow cool fermentation and aging in foudre and large neutral French oak puncheons. Unmistakable natural beauty with no make-up and no photoshop

2022 Cabernet Franc - 96 Vinous

A totally classic bouquet of mint leaf, bell pepper and crushed raspberries meets a beautiful complement of white smoke as the 2022 Cabernet Franc blossoms in the glass. This washes across the palate with a contrasting blend of sweet spices and tart wild berry fruits, taking on a tactile mineral crunch and depths of exotic spice toward the close. Silky within, yet grippy and sinewy through the finish, this finishes impossibly long and staining.
