Highlights

• This Cabernet Franc was crafted with fruit from vines planted in 1991 which comprise a mere 0.38-acre, south-facing block
• Harvested at an elevation of 1,192 feet high up in the Mayacamas Mountains above Bear Canyon; small-lot fermented
• Only two barrels were made; your wine is aging 18 months in French barriques (50% new and 50% second passage)
• 100% estate grown and bottled with California Certified Organic Farmers (CCOF) grown fruit

Description

Planted by Ted, Laddie and Chris Hall on the historic property of Long Meadow Ranch established in 1872, these 31-year-old vines stand watch on the precipice of Bear Canyon. At just over one third of an acre, our tiny Cabernet Franc block is a winemaker favorite. This pre-Prohibition site, originally planted in the 1870s by E.J. Church, is south-facing at an altitude of 1,192 feet. The vineyard produces a classically elegant wine true to the variety. Fans of Cabernet Franc will enjoy this for many years.
