The 2024 Cabernet Franc Appellation San Carlos offers red fruit and a very soft hint of ash. Broad and smooth, with grippy tannins, it delivers a lightly tight texture and a saline edge. Juicy and long, the finish highlights the fruit in a persistent, flavorful way.

A fruity cabernet franc showing vibrant red cherry, berry and paprika aromas. Medium-bodied with honest fruit and a touch of white pepper in the medium-long finish. Drink now or hold a few years.

Savory aromas of thyme and mineral lead off, but this silky red is built around a juicy core of plum and black cherry flavors and keeps an energetic focus through the finish around fine tannins. Drink now. 6,900 cases made, 2,100 cases imported.
