WINE DESCRIPTION
Kuleto Estate Cabernet Franc is a premium wine produced by Kuleto Estate, a renowned winery located in the Napa Valley. The vineyards in the Eastern part of the Valley feature steep hillsides, rocky soils, and a unique microclimate that allows for optimal grape growing conditions. Rather righ elevation (partly above 400 m) allows the grapes to ripen evenly and retain their acidity, thus prducing more balanced wines. This is a varietal reflecting the character of Cabernet Franc. Aged for avoer 2 years in oak barrels, part of which are new. The resulting wine is rich and complex with notes of dark fruit, spice, and a hint of oak.

The palate is full-bodied and complex, showcasing flavors of blackcurrant, pencial lead, and a touch of black pepper, complemented by undertones of chocolate and earthy minerals. The wine's velvety tannins and balanced acidity lead to a long, elegant finish, marked by lingering traces of spice and oak. This Cabernet Franc stands out for its depth and finesse, making it a memorable and sophisticated choice.
