2021 Mt. Brave
Mt. Veeder Cabernet Franc

The 2021 vintage started with just a little rain in winter and spring, followed by a moderate summer and cooler fall. The absence of heat spikes and moisture as the clusters finished ripening meant we could pick exactly when we felt the fruit was at its peak. This gentle growing season yielded vivid, fresh character. This Cabernet Franc evokes memory and possibility, with notes of raspberry and orange blossom lifted by ocean air. Lead pencil shavings and toast are nice grounding elements conveyed with a silky mouthfeel
