Overview: We are inspired by Chinon and seek to craft a style of Cabernet Franc that is light, fresh, and approachable. It was fermented whole cluster in open-top fermenters and aged in 100% neutral French oak barrels for 7 months.
This Cabernet Franc is grown in our 16-acre estate Mizany Vineyard, which is situated just off Dry Creek Road in the famous Cortina Gravel of Dry Creek Valley. This gravely soil is well drained and makes for very expressive wines. The vineyard is farmed organically and is undergoing certification through CCOF.
Tasting Notes: This wine offers a light and bright bouquet that is framed with strawberry fruit and a slightly flinty finish.
Pairing: It is an ideal food wine that can stand up to heartier dishes but will not overpower more delicate seasonal fare.
