Note di degustazione
A blend of 76% Cabernet Franc and 24% Cabernet Sauvignon, the 2016 Cabernet Franc The Prior comes from the Frediani Vineyard, which is near Eisele Vineyard off Pickett Road in Calistoga. It's incredibly complex and nuanced, with terrific notes of black raspberries, black cherries, potpourri, spring flowers, and dried earth. As with all these wines, it's seamless, silky, and pure, with beautiful intensity yet no sensation of weight or heaviness.

A blend of 76% Cabernet Franc and 24% Cabernet Sauvignon aged 22 months in 80% new French oak, the deep garnet-purple colored 2016 Cabernet Franc The Prior has fragrant red and black currant notes with lovely black cherries, black tea, pencil shavings and damp soil with a waft of bay leaves. Medium to full-bodied with a firm frame of chewy tannins and just enough freshness supporting the intense red and black fruits, it finishes with an earthy lift. 245 cases produced.
