This elegant and full bodied wine has distinct blackberry and black pepper aromas, characteristic for Cabernet Franc grapes. It is an excellent match with grilled steak or a pork roast.

Winemaker Notes
Made from premium grapes from our estate vineyard (65%) and the Sundial vineyard on the Black Sage Bench, south of Oliver. This Cabernet Franc was made to reflect the local terroir and the distinct varietal characteristics. The result is a wine with a high concentration of aromas, yet elegant and smooth. The wine was aged in French & American oak barrels for 12 months prior to bottling. After bottling it has aged another 12 months in bottle prior to release.
