2020 Cabernet Franc, 750ml, 14.0%

 In 2006, we planted our Estate Vineyard (“Mae’s Vineyard) to Syrah, Cabernet Franc and Viognier.  Cabernet Franc has proven to be a standout from the Estate, and as the vineyard has come into bearing, the majority of the Cabernet Franc is sourced from Mae’s vineyard.  Mae’s vineyard is denoted by red soils, south facing slopes, and moderating afternoon breezes. 

A specialty of the house.  We love Cabernet Franc from the Applegate and find that it's one of the premier examples of the variety.  This bottling has all the hallmarks of a great vintage, with red pepper, loam and tobacco notes.  The structured tannins will guarantee that this wine will age well over time
