When we began our exploration of Cabernet Franc we set out with the
goal to present a wine that was ‘true to type’, or in wine-speak, a
wine that showed ‘typicity’ – boldly saying ‘Cabernet Franc’! Our
exploration, in progress for over a decade, brings us to the rows of
many vineyards in very diverse growing conditions. For six vintages we
have been focused a little north of us [north of Napa Valley that is]
in the hills of Lake County. We have been working with vineyards ‘up’
in Lake County long enough to have found growers who are passionate in
providing us with the grapes we need to help express our Cabernet Franc
vision. |
