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, bordering on black, one realizes this is going to be a “bold” 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 “mouthful” of wine.
