Tasting Notes

Aroma

The 2019 Cabernet Franc opens with notes of mulberry, Asian spice and black tea.

Maturation

21 months in French oak (72% new).

Palate

The palate is dense with a beautifully balanced acidity and silky tannins.

Vinification

We hand-harvested grapes during cool morning hours as the fog blanketed the valley below. The wine was fermented in stainless steel and then underwent native malolactic fermentation in barrels to round acidity and softly integrate the vanillin character of French oak (72% new). After barrel aging for 21 months, the wine was bottled without fining or filtration.

Vintage Notes

The 2019 vintage brought upon a very wet winter, frequent foggy spring mornings, and a mild summer with just a handful of brief heat spikes. Temparate fall weather allowed for extended hang time, and our last fruit came off the vines in late October.

Region Notes

High-elevation winegrowing requires a painstaking, labor intensive approach. Thin, rocky soils and steep slopes make water retention a challenge and erosion a threat, but the vines benet from the struggle and produce concentrated avors. The high altitude keeps midday temperatures cooler than those in the valley below, while the position above the fog line gives grapes longer daily exposure to sunlight. This regularly extends the growing season into November, and the increased hang-time results in peak ripeness and full varietal complexity.
