Bursting with varietal character, this Cabernet Franc shows another facet of Jeff Runquist as a winemaker. Here he exerts minimal “house influence” and lets the wine sing its own song – a soaring melody of cherry, dried herbs, and gentle oak spice that ride freshening acidity through a long finish. It is fully integrated already, and will continue to gain complexity over the next few years. This is a great addition to an already amazing lineup.
