Nose
Aromas of currant, plum and brown spices rise from the glass.
Palate
The flavors of black cherry, blackberry and dark chocolate tempt you with a promise of fulfillment, as this medium weight wine leads to a long finish with well integrated tannins.
Growing Conditions
The 2013 growing season was one without heat or cool spikes. This Cabernet Franc from the West Side Ranch didn't believe in being average. It held on until November. The fruit of this vintage is known for good ripeness with intense flavors and balance.
West Side Ranch is located on Chimney Rock Road adjacent to the Adelaida School House. Warm, sunny days and cool evening temperatures create ideal conditions for intense aroma, flavor, and acidity development in the ripening grapes.
