Description
While Cabernet Franc can be a challenge to ripen, it thrives in the unique terroir of Mt. Brave’s rugged high-elevation vineyard. The combination of the cooler air at altitude and prolonged sun exposure above fog line maximize the ripening period. The longer hang time for the grapes translates into delicious chocolate and raspberry notes in the glass, culminating in a delightfully bright finish.
