Varietal Composition: 97% Cabernet Franc, 2% Cabernet Sauvignon, 1% Merlot

At Duckhorn Vineyards, we have been working with Napa Valley Cabernet Franc for over a quarter century, exploring its ability to add elegance and complexity to our blends and its capacity to produce stand-alone wines of stature and sophistication. Incorporating valley floor fruit with an emphasis on older vines, low yields and warmer vineyards, our Cabernet Franc offers beautiful varietal notes of dark cherry, raspberry and red currant with hints of tobacco leaf and graphite.

Winemaker Notes

Both elegant and expansive, this wine begins with alluring aromas of blackberry, cassis, fig and cocoa powder. On the palate, luxurious layers of dark berries, bay leaf and anise are framed by supple, elegant tannins and a core of bright acidity that adds energy and nuance to a long, complex finish.
