2018 Trespass (Young Vine) Cabernet Franc
$110.00
New to the Trespass lineup is this small treasure. For a little background, there was about ½ acre of space remaining on the property and in need of being planted. Cabernet Franc was a natural choice as it grows just so incredibly well at the vineyard. Planted in 2014, today we know the small planting as Block 7. In 2018 it yielded enough to be its own wine lot. We decided to keep this wine entirely on its own, embrace the youthful side of the noble varietal and share with you the not so subtle differences between five year old vines and twenty-one year old vines by bottling them separately.
This wine covers the entire red fruit spectrum. It shows great elegance and a special sophistication. The mouth has finesse, restrain and balance. The overall presence is persistent, and the feeling builds throughout the midpalate where I find the dark cherry finish. Only 2 barrels produced with mere 2% drops of both Cabernet Sauvignon, and Malbec, for that drop of color and textural support. Bottled after 22 months in 50% new French Oak, bottled unfiltered and unfined.
