Tasting Notes
85% Cabernet Franc, 8% Petite Sirah, 4% Zinfandel, 3% Cabernet Sauvignon

Vineyard Notes
Located at 2400 ft. above sea level, these grapes are estate-grown at our Hay Station Ranch vineyard where warm days are cooled by the evening mountain air. This areas unique soil of decomposed granite mixed with volcanic sediment and red clay produce a wonderful mineral component. Grapes have been grown in the Sierra Foothills for 150 years.

Winemaker Notes
Our Reserve Cabernet Franc is an elegant, rich yet soft wine. With fleshy black cherry, blackberry and spicy oak aromas this seductive Cabernet Franc is worth drinking now or cellaring for a special occasion. Succulent, dark fruit flavors of plum, black cherry with a hint of sweet oak fills the palate and gives way to a smooth, medium finish.

Food Pairing Notes
Cabernet Franc is a surprising wine that pairs well with both light and hearty dishes. It’s an excellent choice for chicken Marsala, roasted pork with apple stuffing and roasted or grilled red meats. It can also be a great starter with a salad of sliced Anjou pears with roasted walnuts and blue cheese crumbles.
