Description
This 100% Cabernet Franc from Carpenter vineyard completed fermentation in ten days with 45% of the grapes punch cap fermented in one ton open tanks and 55% in stainless steel vessels. The aging process has taken place exclusively in new Mercier Bordeaux barrels.
Broad and intense aromas of bay leaf, clove and black berry fruit reveal intimations of what to anticipate from this single-vineyard wine. The opulent structure with characteristics of black cherry, pomegranate, currant and clove have consistently marked this Cabernet Franc since first made in 1989. Consistent to past vintages are the pronounced flavors of mulling spices, cured meats and dark chocolate. Complimented by refined tannins, the expansive finish displays caramelized fruit, orange peel and clove.
