2018 Moon Mountain
Cabernet Franc
Beautifully balanced with enticing notes of ripe black plum, blueberry, and white pepper mingling with earthy notes of cut greens and wet slate. Limited release.
Harvested exclusively from the rocky, volcanic soils of the Moon Mountain appellation outside of the town of Sonoma, this full-bodied wine expresses excellent varietal typicity. Enticing notes of ripe black plum, blueberry, and white pepper mingle with earthy notes of wet fall leaves and cut greens. Juicy blue and black fruits on the palate are balanced by a hint of wet slate and well-integrated tannins, with a bright acidity that elevates the notes of cacao in the finish.
