Cabernet Franc, Lone Oak Vineyard

For the first time in our near 50-year history, we bottled and are now releasing a single vineyard Cabernet Franc. This bottling, from grapes grown on our Lone Oak Vineyard situated just north of our winery, comes from the warm and dry growing season of 2022. The resulting wine from some of the ripest fruit we've ever grown is bold, full-bodied, and complex. We suggest decanting this wine for 30-45 minutes before enjoying, or aging the bottle for a few more months before enjoying. This wine will age beautifully for years to come
