No matter how often we clear the boulders from these vine rows, they miraculously reappear in our small 2.5- acre home vineyard each spring, churned up from the adjacent Greenville Fault. And that's how our Stone Patch block got its name. Winemakers for centuries have known that these tectonic soils tend to produce dynamic wines!
Wine Profile
Tasting Notes
This Cab Franc displays rich, intense fruit of dark cherry, blueberry, plum, and juniper along with hints of ripe fig and cassis. The juicy, grippy, firm tannins and well balanced acidity bring out both the fruit and the structure of this wine, contributing to a vibrant fruit and vanilla finish.
