  • Appellation: Santa Barbara County
    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.

  • 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... ...read more

  • 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.
