Cabernet Franc№2 — 2015

Napa Valley

ASHES & DIAMONDS’ Cabernet Franc is a naturally restrained, balanced wine with subtle power and aromatic finesse that comes from the volcanic, clay and sandy loam soils of select vineyards in Napa Valley’s cooler south side (Los Carneros, Oak Knoll District and Yountville).

Vibrant with vital energy nearly a decade later, this 2015 “drought” vintage bursts onto the palate with precision tannins and fresh pomegranate, red cherry and candied flavors—not unlike a strawberry Fruit Roll-Up—and is irresistible between sips. The violet, cinnamon and nutmeg aromatics remain steadfast years later, making this one of the most memorable vintages the wine has produced. (Tasting Notes, 11/20/23)
