2021 Strong Silent Type Cabernet Franc

Why do we call Cabernet Franc the strong, silent type? STRONG, because Cabernet Franc has the same punch of dark berry flavors, chocolate, and spice as the rest of the family. SILENT, because Cab Franc is earthy, with fine tannins. A good listener, its eminently food friendly.

Aromas of boysenberry, just ripe plum, and a hint of sandalwood evolve into a dark and earthy palate. There, subtle oak influence and grippy tannins interweave with plum skin, resiliny herb, and a hint of molasses on each sip. The 2021’s high acidity and pliant mouthfeel show off just how dynamic this wine can be, combining “big bold” flavor value with a body that’s light on its feet.
