Appellation: Lodi Blend: 85% Cabernet Franc, 12% Merlot, 3% Syrah Aging: Five months - New French and American Oak
WINEMAKE NOTES: Cabernet Franc is an ancient French grape varietal linked as one of Cabernet Sauvignon’s parent grapes (crossed with Sauvignon Blanc). Our signature Cabernet Franc, grown in the Lodi appellation, is known for its balance and medium body. Expressive aromas of bright red berry fruits mixed with a light spice and a hint of fresh herbs leads to flavors of red cherry and raspberry with vanilla-oak undertones.
SERVING SUGGESTIONS: Cabernet Franc is a great wine to accompany any number of dishes. Grilled red meats and game are perfectly suited for this wine as well as roasted pork tenderloin. It’s also amazing with rich dark chocolate desserts!
