2004 Cabernet Franc

See our complete wine selection

A perennial favorite of our wine club - this is a delicious example of that "other" Cabernet, which is actually a much older grape variety than Cabernet Sauvignon.

Light and aromatic, with oak, herbs, brown sugar, licorice, violets and black tea notes on the nose. Pleasant red cherry and blueberry fruit mid-palate, with a violet pastille note leading to a clean finish.

Due to individual state regulations we can only ship to the following 28 states: Alaska, Arizona, California, Colorado, Florida, Hawaii, Idaho, Illinois, Iowa, Louisiana, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, Nevada, New Hampshire, New Mexico, New York, North Carolina, North Dakota, Ohio, Oregon, South Carolina, Texas, Vermont, Virginia, Washington, Wisconsin and Wyoming. We can also ship internationally, however it's pretty expensive.

Winemaker's notes

Harvested on Oct 31st, grapes were gently crushed, and cold soaked for three days before innoculation. Fermentation was held at a constant 80°, and then the wine was gently pressed and racked to French oak barrels for ageing. After about 20 months the wines were settled, fined, and gently filtered before bottling. Best after some bottle age, drink 2008-2012.


Pairing with food

Fantastic with fruit glazed pork chops or

pork loin roast. Also pairs well with

lamb kabobs.

Matches with cheese

We love this wine with Cypress Grove Lamb Chopper, or aged pecorino sheep's milk cheese.
