The young wine finished malo-lactic in 65% new French oak barrels and matured for 20 months with quarterly racking.

Assertive yet refined tannins carry flavors of abundant ripe fruit, minerality, and spice of this opulent wine.

    		Terremoto Cellars
    2005 Magnitude Cabernet Franc
  • Appellation: Oakville Terremoto Cellars (Novato, CA) -- (Winery Info & All Wines)
  • Winemaker: Karen Gallien
  • This bold offering from the red volcanic soils of Oakville's eastern hillside vineyard lures you in with a delicate dance of fresh fruit and toasty perfumed vanilla. The seduction continues with the supple well integrated tannins and kiss of oak. It is irresistible now, but can easily be cellared for years to come if you can stand to do it. This wine pairs well with meaty and earthy dishes, yet provides an earth moving experience on its own.

  • Appellation: Santa Barbara County Lucas (Solvang, CA) -- (Winery Info & All Wines)

This wine derives from grapes grown in our Valley View Vineyard, east of Solvang in the Santa Ynez Valley and was aged for 19 months in 1-5 year old French oak barrels. It exhibits aromas of blueberry, kirsch and black cherry with flavors of big, rich, dark, blackberry-raspberry jam followed by ripe, chewy tannins and a long rich finish.
