WINE DESCRIPTION

Ashes & Diamonds Cabernet Franc is a red wine produced by Ashes & Diamonds Winery, located in the Napa Valley appellation of California. The wine is also labeled with a number that represents the number of vintages that have been made since the project started. The vineyard features a unique combination of gravelly loam soil and a cool climate, which allows for slow ripening and optimal flavor development. The winemaking process involves early hand-harvesting for freshness, and sorting the grapes, followed by fermentation in small batches using natural yeasts. The resulting wine is a complex and elegant expression of Cabernet Franc, with notes of black cherry, tobacco, and spice. Its medium-bodied style and balanced tannins make it a versatile pairing for a variety of dishes.

This Ashes & Diamonds Cabernet Franc has an inviting and complex nose of blackcurrant, pomegranate, and graphite.On the palate, it is generous and lush, with a balance of ripe tannins and bright acidity. Flavors of ripe blackberry and cassis mingle with subtle notes of tobacco, leather, and crushed rock. The finish is long and lingering with a touch of graphite mineral. Overall, this is an elegant and well-structured wine with excellent balance and complexity.
