2022 Cabernet Franc
Tasting notes
Aromas of ripe and tart fruit mingle with fresh herbs and cracked pepper. On the palate, a lively snap of cranberry and raspberry is layered with rose petal potpourri and white pepper spice, creating a profile that's both expressive and complex. Enjoy now through 2040.
Native fermentation with 30% stem inclusion brings structure and lift to our 2022 Cabernet Franc, aged 16 months in oak (20% new). Bottled unfined and unfiltered, this wine captures the varietal's purity and vibrant energy.

Well integrated aroma of both ripe and tart fruit are lifted by pinches of herb and pepper on the nose of this bottling. The palate lands with a fresh snap of cranberry and raspberry flavors that are layered in rose potpourri and white pepper spices. — Matt Kettmann
Coming from the Peake Ranch Vineyard, the 2022 Cabernet Franc offers a lovely herbal edge on the nose alongside pencil lead and rich dark fruits. The palate takes on another layer of complexity with chocolate and salty soils alongside the herbal accents. Drink 2024-2034 92 points —Owen Bargreen
