Somm Note

Winemaker Notes

This year's offering is packed with red fruit notes from raspberry to cherry pie, and also has nuances of blue fruit, including blueberry and black raspberry. Chocolate and maple flavors and a hint of violets complete the nose. On the palate, this is one of our most concentrated Cabernet Francs yet, with a syrupy texture that coats the entire mouth, big but ripe tannins, and our Cabernet Franc's characteristic bright acidity. Rounding out the wine, 14% Merlot from our Rocky Top vineyard block adds supple red fruit while 6% Cabernet Sauvignon from our Quartz Hill and Chalk Hill vineyard blocks provides structure and intensity.

Blend: 80% Cabernet Franc, 14% Merlot, 6% Cabernet Sauvignon

    A lovely Cabernet Franc, one of the best on the market. Shows classic Pride Mountain characteristics of ripeness, balance and immediate drinkability, although it will take a few years in the cellar. Dry and full-bodied, it's rich in black cherries, spices and oak, with firm tannins.

    Another winner, the 2007 Cabernet Franc is slightly more closed and tannic than the Merlot. It reveals notes of herbs, cedar, spice box, and fruit, beautiful density, sweet tannin, and a mid-weight feel in the mouth. It should drink nicely for 10-12 years.

Cabernet Franc, a proud parent of Cabernet Sauvignon, is the subtler and more delicate of the Cabernets. Today Cabernet Franc produces outstanding single varietal wines across the wine-producing world. Somm Secret—One of California's best-kept secrets is the Happy Canyon appellation of Santa Barbara. Here Cabernet Franc shines as a single varietal wine or in blends, expressing sumptuous fruit, savory aromas and polished tannins.

Home to a diverse array of smaller AVAs with varied microclimates and soil types, Sonoma County has something for every wine lover. Physically twice as large as Napa Valley, the region only produces about half the amount of wine but boasts both tremendous quality and variety. With its laid-back atmosphere and down-to-earth attitude, the wineries of Sonoma are appreciated by wine tourists for their friendliness and approachability. The entire county intends to become a 100% sustainable winegrowing region by 2019.

Sonoma County wines are produced with carefully selected grape varieties to reflect the best attributes of their sites—Dry Creek Valley’s consistent sunshine is ideal for Zinfandel, while the warm Alexander Valley is responsible for rich, voluptuous red wines like Cabernet Sauvignon. Chardonnay and Pinot Noir are important throughout the county, most notably in the cooler AVAs of Russian River, Sonoma Coast and Carneros. Sauvignon Blanc, Merlot and Syrah have also found a firm footing here.
