The 2021 Cabernet Franc is soruced from all four appellations, leading with our Yverdon Vineyard on Spring Mountain. This wine displays balanced red and dark fruit, accented by rose petal and orange blossom, and pronounced minerality with a very fine tannin structure.
The 2021 vintage brought us lots of winter rain, fairly frequent fog events in the spring, and a mild summer with just a few short heat spikes. Uneventful fall weather allowed for extended hang time, and our last fruit came off the vines November 1.
