Lot 243 Oakville Cabernet Franc, Napa Valley California

Everyone knows that Napa Valley is home to some of the most acclaimed Cabernet Sauvignon in the world, but one would be remiss to overlook the incredible Cabernet Franc that also grows here. This very limited production wine is made from 100% Cabernet Franc. This wine sells for over $100 under the source label! In the heart of Oakville, among 55 acres of vineyards, is the home of these Cabernet Franc grapes. The soils here are volcanic, stretching out across the alluvial fan, producing wines with elegant characteristics and booming freshness. With a minimal approach to winemaking the true varietal expression of Cabernet Franc really shines.
