2021 Reserve Nancy's Block Cabernet Franc
Rich, dense , and ripe in elegant tannins, spice nuances (slight cigar box cedar) and ripe jammy fruit (strawberry, currants). The tannins are so elegant and dusty on your palate and the acidity is just perfectly balanced and the weight on this wine is rewarding as its dense . Crucial thinning in the vineyard and a last minute call on a Sunday evening shows how timing and patience and keeping a pulse on the weather are crucial for bringing in fruit at its prime. It makes it all worth it.

Winemaker Notes
The wine was pumped over 2x day. Organic yeast were used to inoculate (the same strain used on Lonna's, and also was picked the same day as Lonna's). Aged in barrel for 18 months , malo in barrel. During ageing we really worked on some lees stirring and worked on proper oxygen intake for these wines to build strength and capture the proper fruit nuances.
