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. |
