2022 Cabernet Franc
Paso Robles
We farm just seven acres of Cabernet Franc at Heart Hill Vineyard, a premier site for Bordeaux varietals. The 2022 vintage yielded small, concentrated clusters with thick skins, producing the dark fruit notes, herbal lift, and the firm tannins we love in Cabernet Franc. To preserve its freshness, we kept the extraction gentle and used only the free-run juice for the final wine. The result is a wine that opens with green, leafy aromas before unfolding into layers of toasted rice, black raspberry, and dark baked bread, all supported by the long, savory phenolic structure that defines this varietal.
