Tasting Notes
Delight in the expressive aromas of blackberry and blueberry with savory Cabernet Franc character and a refined touch of oak. On the palate, this wine shows a bold, dry profile with structured tannins that build through the mid-palate and carry into a lingering, gently oaky finish. Balanced and polished, it drinks with both power and elegance.
Winemaking Details
Crafted from Cabernet Franc grown in the Casa de Vinas Vineyard in Livermore Valley, this small-lot bottling was produced unfined and unfiltered to preserve texture and depth. The finished wine sits at 13.9% ABV, delivering a fuller impression while maintaining varietal definition and structure.
Food Pairings
A natural match for grilled tri-tip, roast lamb, braised short ribs, and herb-forward dishes (think rosemary, thyme, and peppercorn sauces). It also shines alongside mushroom-based plates, charcuterie, and aged hard cheeses.
