2006 Castello di Borghese Reserve Cabernet Franc
Estate bottled at Long Island's first and finest

A rich and generous wine with marvelously deep and focused flavors of red berry, blackberry, and black tea. An abundance of smoky, minty, cedar hints framed by fine-grained tannins.

2004 Cabernet Franc
McCoy Vineyard, Sonoma County

The McCoy Vineyard has long been praised for grapes of intense ﬂavors and concentrated aromas and the 2004 vintage is no exception. Perched along the western slopes of the M ...moreayacamas Range, it overlooks northern Sonoma Valley, and is a lovely example of the varietal from a vineyard that has consistently provided St. Francis with exceptional fruit. Cabernet Franc ripens earlier and thrives in slightly cooler climates than its â€œsisterâ€ Cabernet Sauvignon. The small intensely ﬂavorful clusters are hand-picked at a mature 25.5 Brix. A nice slow fermentation gives the wine richness and viscosity, and aging 24 months in both French and American oak has imparted a fullness to the wineâ€™s mouthfeel. If you enjoy Cabernet Franc, this full-bodied vintage with notes of blackberry, cassis and leather will surely delight. Made in a very limited quantity, this single vineyard wine is available only at the Winery.

2003 Cabernet Franc
St. Helena

Our 2003 Cabernet Franc was harvested in late October from our hillside vineyards at 24.8 brix. Starting with color, this wine makes an immediate statement. Intense dark purple, ...morebordering on black, one realizes this is going to be a â€œboldâ€ wine. Aged in a combination of French and Hungarian oak, the bouquet is classic Cabernet Franc with nuances of black cherry and a hint of chocolate. Blended with 5% Merlot from the same vineyard, this wine is initially soft on the palate. The firm structure begins in the middle of the mouth and carries through to the finish where the intense Cabernet Franc flavors linger. The Hungarian and French oak adds just enough spice to give great complexity and a real â€œmouthfulâ€ of wine.

2004 Cabernet Franc

The wine has an intense nose of chocolate and blackberries that is surprising in this varietal. These notes are continued on the palette and accompanied by a rich mouth feel, notes ...more of vanilla, silky tannins and a long finish. If this wine were served blind, you would think it was a rich Bordeaux blend and not 100% Franc. We could not be happier with this first release.

This wine has charisma - fruity, velvety, and spicy all in one. The wine has a bay and wild sage aroma that reminds me of my childhood here in the Santa Cruz Mountains. The palate has an interesting clove character balanced by elegant violet and raspberry notes. In my mind this wine is perfect, full ...
