The unique terroir of our rocky, higher-elevation Mount Veeder estate combines a cool, marine-influenced climate with exceptional sun exposure to naturally develop Cabernet Franc’s inherently earthbound, spice, and black fruit flavors. Typically blended with Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon to add mouthfeel, length, and herbal characteristics Cabernet Franc is a pure, singular expression of this classic Bordeaux variety.
