Winemaker Notes
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.
Funneling the moderating effect of the Atlantic Ocean inland, the Hudson River’s shale, slate, schist and limestone soils support the production of white varieties such as Riesling, Chardonnnay and the French hybrid, Seyval Blanc.
