2023 Reserve Cabernet Franc
Heart Hill Vineyard
In Stock
We farm just seven acres of Cabernet Franc at Heart Hill Vineyard, and in 2023, we hand-harvested the grapes from a hilltop section of one of the oldest blocks in the vineyard. Here, elevation, exposure and rocky soils combine to create fruit that ripens into generously textured, mouth-coating wine with rich, dark fruit flavors destined to be bottled independently. Only the finest lots from the vintage are selected for this reserve bottling. We aged the wine for 20 months in French oak barrels, allowing it to gain complexity while preserving its structure. The result is a powerful expression, defined by notes of black cherry, plum, and blackberry, complemented by hints of espresso and warm baking spices.
