    Somm Note

    Winemaker Notes

    The first scent of this wine has intriguing whiffs of red fruits, violets, and black currant. The nose further develops with an earthy spice flavor including hints of sage and mushroom. The medium-body palate continues to explode with blackberry and cherry. A silky texture and a persistent finish contain hints of dusty dark chocolate.

    Ideal for dishes featuring rustic and earthy flavors with rosemary or mint. Wine is best if served with ham, pork or veal featuring stone fruit sauces. It is also great with pizza and grilled steak. If you feel brave, try with fennel crusted salmon.

    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.

    Napa Valley, California

    As one of Napa’s coolest sub-appellations, the area begs for diversity among its vineyards. Merlot and Chardonnay firmly compete with Cabernet Sauvignon for a place here. Some of Napa’s best Zinfandels also come from the Oak Knoll District.

    Situated far in Napa’s southern end, Oak Knoll receives a strong cooling influence from both the San Pablo Bay and the Pacific Coast’s evening fog and breezes. Summer days are warm but on average ten degrees cooler than in St. Helena farther north up the valley; summer nights are chilly. A long growing season promotes for leisurely ripening of grape berries, resulting in an impressive balance of sugars, phenols and acidity.

    Notable producers include Trefethen, one of the appellation’s oldest wineries, Robert Biale, legendary Zinfandel producer and Lewis Cellars, a family-run, hands-on establishment.
