2023 Foundation Cabernet Franc

2023 Foundation Cabernet Franc

Winemaker’s Note: Is Brandee biased? Yes. However, this wine is built to age. Just make sure you secure enough bottles; one to drink now and a few more to go on the aging journey.

On the nose: Blueberry, thyme, pie, rubber stopper, mint, hint of cedar, black pepper, roasted red pepper, anise

On the palate: Blueberry, baked mushroom, cherry, baked pie crust, anise, bitter lime peel, unripe plum

Food pairing ideas: Triple cream brie and crusty bread! Game meats would be heavenly. Pork with roasted rosemary potato + mushroom pan sauce. Vegetarian ideas include baked stuffed green peppers or eggplant parmesan.

Each vintage, we select a series of extraordinary wines upon which our reputation will rest. These "Foundation" wines represent the best we have to offer. Built from the earth up, in partnership with talented farmers and mother nature, these bottles are born from carefully chosen rows of vines rooted in thoughtfully cultivated land. Focus by a devoted husband-and-wife team, combined with charm from every unique barrel create wines that truly honor each varietal. Our approach is simple and solid: we buy the most spectacular grapes available and treat them with respect - this is the integrity that we demand. After all, structural integrity always depends on a solid foundation.
