TASTING NOTE:

A lush and complex wine, this Robert’s Cabernet Franc is produced each year from grapes grown in the red volcanic soil of the highest mountain vineyard blocks. A lighter, lean canopy and mild temperatures allowed for even ripening and concentration of fruit in 2014, the third year of drought. Raspberry, black currant and fresh floral elements with hints of tobacco and caramel dominate the complex, perfumed nose, leading to juicy, ripe fruit flavors on the palate. In the mouth, the flavors are long, supple and subtly savory, layered with sweet, ripe tannins.
