Cabernet Franc,
from the table to the cellar.
Figeac was the spark. Cabernet Franc entered LXV through the table. Kunal was drawn to its perfume, earth, spice, and structure without heaviness. Neeta saw how naturally it moved with food: herbs, smoke, florals, pepper, and texture.
California Cabernet Franc at LXV
We are a Cab Franc house in Paso Robles. We make it white, as Blanc de Franc. We blend it with Merlot in The Tempo. We bottle it on its own as our Reserve, and from single vineyards under MESO.
The California fruit comes from Eckert Family Vineyards in Paso Robles, Portico Hills in Santa Barbara County and G2N Vineyard in the Willow Creek District. Our own Armaa.N Estate, also in Willow Creek, gives Cab Franc to the Maison Mittal blends. Maison Mittal’s Saint-Émilion wines are our Bordeaux chapter, grown in France rather than California.
The easiest way to taste the range is A Study in Cabernet Franc at our downtown tasting room. Or start with the bottles below.
Start with the Cabernet Franc Study
The simplest way to understand LXV Cabernet Franc: three bottles that show the range.

- Reserve Cabernet Franc — Portico Hills
The Range
One grape, every expression
Saint-Émilion: another dimension of Franc
In Saint-Émilion, Cabernet Franc finds another language. Limestone soils and centuries of craft bring structure, tension, and age-worthy elegance — deepening the LXV Cabernet Franc story.
