2014 Brecon Cabernet Franc

Reading the tea leaves this morning , or was it wine lees, Hummm  I forget. Everything is indicating that this, in time and with a little patience, should surpass all our previous vintages. It’s a whopping 87% top of the hill Estate Cab Franc and,  in a sneaky departure from previous vintages, we added some Happy Canyon Cabernet 9.1%  and Petit Verdot 3.9% for longevity, structure and balance.

"Incorporating roughly 9% Cabernet Sauvignon and 4% Petit Verdot, the 2014 Cabernet Franc is a complex, medium to full-bodied, elegant effort that has lots of fruit forward characteristics, notes of underbrush, flowers and herbs, and hints of oak on the finish. Aged 18 months in 40% new French oak, it has outstanding potential and should have a decade of longevity."
