Tasting Notes
100% Cabernet Franc from Portico Hills Vineyard, Santa Barbara County. 250 cases. At 1.2 acres, one of the smallest blocks in the portfolio — own-rooted on a steep, nearly 25% grade, yielding a Franc with the structure of Chinon and the aromatics of Bourgueil.
Color:Bright garnet with violet hue
Nose:Raspberry pot de crème and cassis mingle with fresh-picked herbs — tarragon and sage. Cool blue fruits: blueberry and elderberry. A subtle green peppercorn edge adds intrigue.
Palate:Fresh, vibrant, full of verve. Crisp acidity carries a granite-like mineral core. Broad in the mid-palate yet refined, with larger-grained tannins. Notes of fresh cranberry, rhubarb, and Swiss chard. Long, mouthwatering finish — everything a living, breathing wine should be.
100% Cabernet Franc from Portico Hills — own-rooted vines on a steep, sandy 25% grade, with the structure of Chinon and aromatics of Bourgueil.
