2017 Estate Reserve William's Cabernet Franc
Estate Reserve Wine
Dark, bold and perfectly balanced! Beautiful bouquet of cherry, plum fruits, dark chocolate and violet. The elegant palate and long finish offer rich fruit flavors, chocolate, caramel and fine tannis! Attention: Cabernet Franc Aficianados! This is one of those Cab Francs you need in your collection!
Uncompromising!
The 2017 growing season in the Sierra Foothills in California presented everything: a frost in early April, a cool spring, a long, hot and dry summer and a harvest that extended almost to the end of October. The fruit from 2017 thrived on these variable weather conditions and have produced a special vintage.
