2006 Cabernet Franc
Napa Valley -- Peju Province Shopping Cart
Winemaker Notes: The fruit in the 2006 Cabernet Franc was harvested in Oct. and Nov. 2006 from hand-selected lots in the Napa Valley. The wine spent extended maceration time on the skins to achieve vibrant color and well-structured tannins. The wine was then barrel aged for 18 months in 40% new, tightly-grained French and American Oak.84% Cabernet Franc, 16% Cabernet Sauvignon.
Sensory Description: The 2006 Cabernet Franc is vivid magenta with rose hues in the glass. Aromas of plum, red currant, toasty vanilla and white pepper awaken the nose. Elegant and well-structured with bright flavors of black cherry, toast, coffee and spice on the mid-palate followed by a soft, supple finish.
