Cabernet Franc, Vandal Vineyard
Los Carneros, Napa Valley 2018

This is an honest Cabernet Franc. Grown well using organic, biodynamic and regenerative practices, it shows that growing Franc in the right location requires little more than attentive nurturing to produce an elegant, balanced, and delicious wine.

The stunning growing season of the 2018 vintage is revealed in a complex bouquet of violet and lavender with red and black fruit, such as pomegranate and cherry, backed by savory bay leaf and dried tarragon. Two years in 30% new French Oak barrels in the cave lends a touch of spice and earth typical of RSV’s Northern Carneros Vandal Vineyard. The finish is long, driven by a perfectly balanced structure that will only become more elegant as the years pass by. Fortunately, RSVnapa has done some of the bottle aging for you to ensure this wine is delicious from day one! 480 cases produced.
