Decagon Double Barrel Aged Cabernet Franc

$ 1499 $ 1799

Winemaker Notes

Cabernet Franc is one of the top 20 planted red grape varieties in the world! It's more often than not used as part of a blend, although it's gaining popularity as a single varietal. Cabernet Franc, along with Sauvignon Blanc, are the "proud parents" of the world's most famous red grape, Cabernet Sauvignon. Therefore, it's not surprising to find it has a lot of characters that are reminiscent of its "off-spring". It is an earlier budding grape and the ripening varietal that Cabernet Sauvignon tends to have a greener note, but less tannins. Harvesting later/riper can reduce those green notes, however, it's a fine balance to ensure. Being softer, it does not become overly ripe and clumsy. This double barrel aged Cabernet Franc is supple, has tastes of ripe fruit with notes of plum and black cherry that adds an edge of warmth on the mid palate before finishing long and rounded.
