Oakville East Exposure
Red Wine
Oakville
5 cases produced
Description
Great wine comes from spectacular grapes, and we feel that the best Cabernet Franc grapes outside of Ausone are grown at the top of what we affectionately named Oakville East. Of course, having Cabernet Sauvignon and Petit Verdot that come from such a renowned neighborhood doesn’t hurt this unique and specially blended red wine.
Aging Process
20 months in French Oak Barrels with about 75% new and remainder one year.
Wine Facts
- pH: 3.67
- Organically produced (also commonly called "organically grown")
