Winemaker’s Note: There is something “lighter” about this Cab Franc that seems almost feminine. It has a perfect lengthy finish and it’s a little higher in acid. There is a lot of complexity that measures up nicely to wines with a much higher price tag.
On the nose: homemade raspberry jam, earthy, sage, anise, lemon

What is a ‘Piloti’?
A piloti (pronounced: pill-oh-tee) is a support such as columns. Pillars or stilts that lift a building above ground or water. In our Piloti Cab Franc, we discovered a sensual wine worthy of elevation. Lift a glass of our Piloti and gain a new point of view.
