This is an elegant blend of two distinct clones of Caberent Franc. A judicious blending of these produces an extraordinary wine combining both dark red berry fruit as well as a smooth tannic backbone that is a consequence of growing in shalee soils rather than red clay. Matured in fine French oak, the resulting wine is better appreciated as a European red than an East Coast Cabernet Franc. Definitely a great wine to store.

Spice and bright red cherry fruit up front, followed by cassis, allspice, and a smooth black pepper finish that is characteristic of this varietal in Virginia. Hints of chocolate and coffee complement the smoky oak from American and French barrels. Look for these flavors to continue to intensify with age. Enjoy this with a slow simmered beef stew or any tomato-based dishes, such as Italian cuisine.

A touch of classic green pepper finish was controlled by intensive leaf pulling and cluster thinning during the growing year. Dark, rich cherry nose and lingering finish. This wine pairs with marinated, grilled meats such as London Broil.
