Medium ruby color with aromas of cherry, pine, eucalyptus and flowers. Medium body with palate-cleansing acidity and flavors of dried hay, tobacco and vanilla. Long finish shows flinty minerality. It has a unique energy and intensity from the bio-intensive farming.
52% Cabernet Franc 32% Cabernet Sauvignon and 16% Merlot.
Our lakeside vineyard features shallow, shale-heavy soil that limits vigor and yield. It was first planted in 2006 with Cabernet Franc and Cabernet Sauvignon, and more Cabernet Franc and Merlot were added in 2013 and 2014. Established vines express a distinctive smoky note unique to the site.
