TASTING NOTES

The 2022 Field Blend Cabernet franc has slightly more than usual of our old vine cab franc block bringing in some serious black currant, tobacco leaf and volcanic clay soil refinement to the precocious raspberry leaf and herb driven flavors coming from the younger close-planted clones in the block planted on sedimentary soils. - Winemaker's Notes

 

The Eola Springs Vineyard is the source of this Cabernet Franc field blend with plenty of old vine fruit on offer—a complexity and depth without richness. A core of red and blue berry fruits backs light, airy herbal aromatics of wild fennel and bay leaf. The palate is zesty and alive. Notes of savoury pine sap, wild mountain huckleberry, and mint make one think of the Loire.
