2001 Cabernet Franc, Estate
In great vintages like 2001, it is abundantly clear why Cabernet Franc has become our signature wine! Something about this grape just loves our steep little corner of Diamond Mountain. The 2001 displays uncommonly deep black raspberry color, a rich perfume and berry patch spice. The flavors follow through with ripe black raspberry, black plum and crushed pepper with just the right amount of new oak to show off the spicy character in the finish. The refined tannin and brilliant acidity throughout make this the perfect choice at mealtime, from grilled Salmon to Rib Eyes and everything in between. This wine will benefit from 5-15 years of cellaring.
