Tasting Notes

The 2023 Handmade Cabernet Franc opens with an expressive bouquet of plum and raspberry, beautifully layered with the sweetness of blackberry jam. Aromatic notes of spearmint, bay leaf, and floral lilac add a sophisticated, herbal complexity to the nose. On the palate, this wine offers a rich mouthfeel that balances fresh blueberry with savory dried herbs and a touch of dusty cocoa. Framed by fine-grained tannins and a polished structure, it concludes with an elegant finish that makes it a perfect match for grilled duck breast with a blackberry reduction or a wedge of aged Gruyere cheese.

In the heart of the Foley Johnson Rutherford Estate, our Cabernet Franc is farmed in the famous “Rutherford Dust” that yields small, yet intense clusters from well-balanced vines. The ideal growing conditions in the vineyard allow our Bordeaux varietals to reach full maturity on the vine without taking on the green, leafy taste of under-ripe fruit.
