Livermore Valley
2009 Cabernet Franc
Wood Family Vineyards
(Livermore, CA)
--
(Winery Info & All Wines)
Winemaker: Rhonda Wood
We found a jewel of a vineyard in a very cool spot of the Livermore Valley. Nestled between the Wente Golf Course and the Sparkling Cellars, the small yield was thought to be the perfect amount for a blending varietal with our wines. What we got however was a classic Cabernet Franc which demanded a separate release. We acquiesced and though we steal a small amount for blending, we decided to bottle the rest on its own. Due to the increasing demand for our Cabernet Franc, we searched out an addit...

Beautiful, deep blue center transforming into brick red edges, vibrant and translucent to the eye. Sweet aromatic red fruits, of strawberry and cherry, with cassis and licorice in the nose. Lots of sassafras and clove with kiwi, star fruit, a slight charred oak and sweet vanilla that gives way to a big explosion of fruit in the mouth. This wine has big powerful dark fruit, black currant, black cherry, cassis and a pronounced licorice element running long into the finish.

Oakville
2005 Magnitude Cabernet Franc
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.

Lucas
(Solvang, CA)
--
(Winery Info & All Wines)
Winemaker: Megan McGrath
Cabernet Franc is a very old variety which is still dominant in parts of the Loire Valley and Bordeaux. 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.

Warm days, cool nights and unique soil conditions at our family estate vineyards in the Sierra Foothills have fashioned the premium grapes for this wine. Deep dark red in color, this wine has lovely aromas of ripe plums, blackberries with hints of coffee and cinnamon in the background. Soft tannins provide a long velvety finish which can be enjoyed alone or with lighter meat and chicken fare.

2007 Cabernet Franc
Lucchesi Vineyards

(Winery Info & All Wines)
Winemaker: Kristen Vartan
2007 Cabernet Franc The grapes were hand harvested from our View Forever Vineyard Estate at optimal ripeness, then destemmed and fermented in small lots until dryness. The young wine finished malo-lactic in 65% new French oak barrels and matured for 20 months with quarterly racking. Intriguing aromas of cassis, raspberries, and black tea greet you with a swirl of the glass. Assertive yet refined tannins carry flavors of abundant ripe fruit, minerality, and spice of this opulent wine.
