Cabernet Franc
Filter
Cabernet Franc is a black grape variety used all over the world and is sometimes used as a blending grape in Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot wines. Cabernet Franc is used in blends and produce aromas similar to raspberry, bell pepper, cassis, or tobacco. The variation in aroma depends mainly on the region where the grape was grown and the type of wine created. Cabernet Franc is said to have originated in the Libournais region of France in the 17th century when the vine was brought to the Loire Valley by Cardinal Richelieu. The wine became more popular in the 18th and 19th centuries. Cabernet Franc produces a light red wine, and gives stronger grapes a light pepper flavor. This blue and black grape is lighter than Cabernet Sauvignon, although it is very similar. Cabernet Franc gives a lighter flavor compared to its sister, Cabernet Sauvignon, and is often blended with other grape varieties. The grape grows best in sandy soils, although it can adapt easily to different climates. Cabernet Franc is one of the top 20 most planted varieties in the world, and can be found in China, Europe, and Kazakhstan. This thin-skinned grape produces beautiful tones of red and black berries, pepper, violet, and plum. Cabernet Franc is a perfect blend with various poultry dishes, Middle Eastern cuisine, vegetable pizza, or couscous.

This Cabernet Franc is black cherry red in color with aromas of blueberry jam and white pepper spiciness. With wonderful ripeness we were able to make one of our best Cabernet Francs. The wine is very lush across the palate with a silky softness and sweet impression of ripe blueberry fruit. Tannins are very moderate with a nice light texture in the mid palate. This is an easy drinking Cabernet Franc, rich and complete and very enjoyable.

Our winemaking "style" is solely determined by this place or terrior we call "Paradigm." Winemaking is agriculture when you own your vineyards and are able to farm them to promote the very best Earth will give you. All of our selections of wines are made from five varietals on the estate. Every wine is 100% farmed and grown by us.
Complexity in our wines supported by luscious fruit and acidity is our hallmark. Our efforts during harvest and barrel cellaring concentrate on maintaining the freshness from the first day we handpicked each vineyard block. Simple winemaking protocols are employed while crucial “timing” oriented winemaking decisions rule each day.
Dark Cabernet color with beautiful aromas of black cherry, cassis, plus 5-spice, vanilla. Big, ripe and mouthcoating across the palate. The flavors are similar to the aromas with ripe fruit, berry/cherry pie, moderate tannins, and nice length. This wine shows enough structure to be age-worth, yet soft and balanced enough to enjoy upon release. Flavors linger in this tasty, dense wine. Tastes like Oakville. -Heidi Barrett

Review:
A jeweled ruby color, the 2019 Brunello Di Montalcino is forward with licorice spice on the nose and opens to notes of fresh black cherries, pine, and toasted rosemary. Medium to full-bodied, it offers wonderful energy from the start, with balanced, angular structure, ripe tannins, crunchy fresh acidity, and a long finish. Avery well styled Brunello, it will be in its prime in the coming 10-15 years.

Aromas of redcurrants and red flowers, followed by a touch of pie crust and sandalwood. Full-bodied with steely and sturdy tannins and vivid acidity. Dried-herb character at the end. Masculine and structured. Hold until 2027.

Reviews:
"Really sophisticated and polished with vanilla, coffee, earth and spice scents and oaky flavours. Long, brooding finish."

"The 2019 Vinsacro Dioro Selección is a Vidau field blend sourced from Monte Yerga in Rioja Oriental. Aged for 18 months in French and Eastern European oak barrels, it is only released after five years in the cellar. Dark garnet in color, time in the glass reveals soy sauce, bay leaf and thyme notes, along with black fruit and chutney-like undertones. Dry and rich on the palate, it flows with softened tannins and a clingy mouthfeel, lingering long with an impression of tomato leaf. This is a complex, nuanced and solar red that will warmly captivate your palate. - Joaquin HIDALGO"
