2017 Cabernet Franc, Oakville Station

$110 / 750ml

Ample and generous aromas of black berry, black cherry and dark chocolate. A hint of sweet vanilla and some dried herb provide complexity. As the aromas evolve in the glass, this Cabernet Franc expresses its hedonistic California style. Smooth and round on entry, the fruit-focused core supports a complex blend of blackberry and red current flavors then turns to ripe summer fruit and sweet dried herbs, with just a touch of floral. Lush and full-bodied, the layers of savory herbs and allspice on the finish gives way to supple tannins and a lingering finish. Incredibly approachable now, but give it some time in the cellar, if you can.

A vin d’assemblage, harnessing the three individual varieties we work with in Oakville, our Red Wine is the whole representation of the famed Oakville Station Vineyard. We love our varietal bottlings, but Merlot, Cabernet Franc and Cabernet Sauvignon play so well together, too.

The ancestral combination of the Merlot, Cabernet Franc and Cabernet Sauvignon varietals in this red wine blend creates a wide spectrum of potential pairings. The bold assertive flavors make this a perfect match with grilled vegetables, many roasted pork dishes including meatloaf.
