2023 Cabernet Franc Reserve

Deep purple-black in color, the 2023 Napa Valley Cabernet Franc is a bold, dramatic expression that leaps from the glass with aromas of ripe plum, inky blackberry, damp moss, and forest floor, layered with notes of black tea and a striking hint of gunpowder. Full-bodied and densely packed, the palate delivers serious mid-palate weight, with richly layered, well-rounded tannins that provide both structure and tension. Waves of dark fruit saturate the mouth, unfolding into a powerful core of blueberry pie and black fruit preserves. The finish is long, opulent, and persistent, echoing with fruit, earth, and savory complexity. A hedonistic yet structured Cabernet Franc that marries intensity with polish.
