Kenefick Ranch Caitlin’s Select Estate Grown Cabernet Franc

It is a beautiful rendition of Cabernet Franc with dark brooding blueberry and blackberry fruit some forest floor and floral notes a dense purple color and soft silky tannins. medium to full-bodied this is big juicy complex style of wine that surprised me by its richness and intensity. It spent 18 months in new French oak and was bottled unfined and unfiltered. Drink it over the next 12-15 years. 93 Points Robert Parker The Wine Advocate Fermentation: 3 Day Cold Soak 14 Day Fermentation Twice Daily Pump-overs Until Below 1 Brix Delistage Process Twice During Fermentation Winemaker Notes: Baker’s chocolate fine tobacco leaf and dark cherry notes make up the aromatic profile. Finely rounded tannins carry fresh red berries dried cranberry and an undercurrent of spice. Good to drink now and will cellar well for the next 15-25 years.” – Kenefick Ranch
