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. The grapes were harvested in the early morning hours, then brought to the winery for destemming and a two-day cold soak prior to inoculation with cultured yeast. The wine was pumpedover daily during fermentation, then pressed and racked to barrel for 18 months of aging in 40% new French oak.
