2022 Cabernet Franc Moon Mountain District

Wine Notes Print tech sheet

Our Cabernet Franc from the Moon Mountain District is known for its elegance and complexity. We're fortunate to have exclusive access to some of the largest Cabernet Franc plantings in the region, all of which are farmed organically and produce grapes worthy of a single-varietal wine. The 2022 vintage showcases the exceptional warmth of the growing season, delivering a more fruit-forward and plush expression while maintaining the wine's signature power and structure. Vibrant fruit takes center stage, beautifully complemented by enticing hints of spice from French oak barrel aging and the distinct freshness that comes from the region's elevation and volcanic soils. This vintage offers the rare combination of being both powerful and approachable, making it particularly enjoyable in its youth while retaining the depth and complexity that makes our Cabernet Franc so memorable.
