Our 2004 Napa Valley Cabernet Franc comes from the vineyard surrounding our St. Helena winery. Each year, we blend the finest Cabernet Franc from our ve estate vineyards and found that our St. Helena vineyard offered us the best fruit of the vintage. We added a small amount of Cabernet Sauvignon to the wine to round out its finish.Our 2004 Napa Valley Cabernet Franc offers notes of cassis, raspberry pie crust, lightly toasted nuts and menthol. Fine tannins from the tight-grained French oak barrels centers this wine with a hint of herbal tea leaves. On the palate, you will discover plush layers of black and red currants leading to a caressing finish. Still in its youth, this wine will benefit from 24 months of additional aging and will continue to evolve over the next six years.
